Hello guys! How are you?
Finally, summer is here! ☀️

It is a wonderful time to enjoy open terraces and refreshing drinks while soaking beautiful play of shadows. It can be a great source of inspiration for various creative pursuits, including capturing those moments through drawing. 🎨

For instance, Campari has created some amazing illustrations over the years, showcasing their brand in a unique way. 🥂

Being commissioned by a brand like this would be a fantastic opportunity for any artist or designer.

If you had a chance to work for a beverage brand which brands it would be? 🔹

Every illustrator has their own story.
Here is the story of Christina , curator of the Illustration workshop Creating a Poster. 🔹

Cristina spend her childhood near the top of Barcelona’s Tibidabo mountain, where a large church looms over a colourful theme park full of twinkly lights, charming roller coasters, creepy vintage animatronics, and sweet-smelling air.

Today, the artist’s playful but dark illustrations are clearly inspired by the kitsch, the bright colours, and her memories of this extraordinary place.

Cristina is busy collaborating with musicians on album covers, working with brands, and illustrating for books, posters, night clubs, and newspapers and other publications. Her clients and collaborators come to her for her very specific surreal style, but she’s always pushing herself to try new things.

Join Christina's workshop on December 3-4 and get to know how turn any story into a visual storytelling! 🔥

Hello, creatives! Today we'd like to share with you the design of a traditional festival Mercè celebrated in Barcelona . 🔵

Every year at the same time a new illustration appears on the city's streets to tell us the story using the power of visual images.

This year’s poster refers to roots and reiterates the city’s commitment to justice and peace. The illustration shows us unique places in Barcelona, the colors of the Ukrainian flag emerging from a trumpet, a castle reaching into the sky, and numerous other details to discover, while the three leading female figures dip their feet in the sea. 🕊

The poster rounds off by regaining typographies from historical Mercè posters.

The author of the work is David de las Heras . Talented in illustration and painting alike, he has worked with various prestigious publications and national and international media.
