It has been quite a while since my last post! that’s because my website www.feliciaart.com has gone through another design change that required some technical detail and time.

A while ago, I have finished illustrating a story for More Canada called “Strange Brew”. The story focuses on ayahuasca and one writer’s experience with it.

Ayahuasca- “the vine of the soul”, is made from two different plants boiled together by shamans in the amazonian forests as part of a religious ritual. This brew is also known for its properties to cure everything from depression to gastrointestinal disorders.
The article focuses on one writer’s experience with ayahuasca describing spiritual pursuit, cleansing your mind and finding inner peace.

Below you can see some of my initial concepts for the story, and one sketch that was developed further. Besides the main illustration I was asked to create a spot illustration as well. My sketches are usually very rough as I like to communicate my ideas briefly but at the same time leaving room for the spontaneous drawing and textures.

I have included in this post some work in progress as well as the final illustrations. As you can see, my whimsical and psychedelic style seemed to be a perfect fit for this assignment.

Here is some personal work I have created a while ago. I have found this piece through my desktop folders, and I have to admit, I have never thought it was anything special. The original drawing must be buried somewhere, that I have no recollection of. The subject matter goes back to my favourite thing to draw: women. When I first started drawing back in my childhood, that was the first thing I drew. I try to understand why I keep wanting to draw women and I guess I love the idea of changing identities and recreating the same innocence that I once knew.
I suppose there is something magical in drawing from impulse, and that is what this piece is. I think I created this in the fall and so I kept my colour palette in reds and violets. Since the artwork is not on my website, I decided to post it on Society6 first, and I got a great response. Now, I guess it deserves a blog post! It even looks great on an iPad skin, or t-shirt. Who would have thought?

Here is another place where you can purchase my work as fine screen arts.
