To make money illustrating, you must draw exceptionally well, be fast, and always be ready for any challenge. But I miss spending hours and hours on just one illustration.
I think this one is a common feeling among all creators, we are blessed and thankful to pay our family bills, trips, coffees, and the books and music we love, but we miss the early days when we could spend a whole day making something that came out from our heart.
This one is pretty old, but I still love the flavor.
9 years ago I started making conceptual illustrations in my spare time. One of the most predominant topics has been mental health, that is, the things I have in my head that I explain better by drawing than by writing.
On February 29th, "Transforming Silence" will be released – a guide for parents and educators, addressing Selective Mutism in children. It meticulously delineates Art Therapy techniques and psychotherapeutic approaches essential for treating this condition.
Apart from handling the book layout, we have provided fresh, fun, and upbeat illustrations to elucidate these sensitive topics and clarify techniques that can help children with selective mutism develop their communication skills.
Big thanks to Monica Ventura from Mente a Color for counting on us in one of the most beautiful projects we've been part of.
Stay tuned for more updates coming soon.
