Frida Querida by Sandra Vargas

My tribute to an amazing artist and passionate woman, Frida Kahlo, who transformed her suffering into colorful pieces of art.

My original illustration was made using colored pencils and digital painting. Art prints, postcards and more accessories featuring Frida Querida are available through my shop and also here.

Here's an illustration I whipped up for my 22 month old daughter. She's really into giraffes and requested I draw a "giraffe eating". Here's the result.

Older, Wiser and Still Smoking!

Ok! So ever so often you meet someone who seems a little bit off or who you don't think is very serious... They tell you that they have an idea and they want to hire you to design a logo and characters based on this idea... and this is more or less what happened and how Stoned Seniors came about. Meet Mountain and Jingles, not your usual grandparents.. but very lovable.

This has been an incredibly fun project to work on...And I think that my favorite part has been able to design an anti war t-shirt and poster... I look forward to the further development of these characters and to help tell their stories...one drawing at a time. I would love to get your feedback!

Here you can see the sketch for a t-shiirt design submitted to the client... and then the final art created in Illustrator.
