Inspiration: Gustavo Pinela
Published in: Inspiration
Funny how I thought I’d be posting so much more now that I don’t work at my full time job? Well I’m actually busier than ever! It’s definitely a good thing but I miss talking to all of you on my blog!! I love reading all your comments and visiting your blogs. But I can’t really say that I’m complaining that I have a lot of wonderful work :o) There isn’t much I can show you right now but in the next few months, I’m hoping to make some posts on what I’ve been up to!
I try my best to keep up with all my favorite blogs. One blog that I discovered not too long ago is Gustavo Pinela’s. He’s my inspiration pick for this week! I love reading his blog because it’s full of delightful illustrations. He has such a playful, fun, and emotional style that really catches my attention. He often posts about his process or projects he’s working on. He’s made all kinds of wonderful products with his illustrations – from mug designs to calendars – the guy has so much going for him! Take a few minutes to check out his amazing blog. It’s not in originally English but there is a translation option on the right side.
I’m hoping to be back with another submission for Illustration Friday this Friday! Hope you’re having a great week :o)

you are simply the best
better than all the rest.
Very cute illos! I love discovering new artists, thanks for this tidbit, Rachelle :)
Oh My! These are so cute. I love them. You are soooo good. Love the pregnant one.
Thanks for the comments!
Lindsay – these illustrations are actually by Gustavo Pinela! He is such a talented artist and I agree, I LOVE the pregnant one as well. It’s so bright and creative :o)
OH! I just realized that. They are great. He has some super talent.
Thanks Rachelle, my English is very bad (in Spanish now): Me he quedado fascinado al ver este post, en el que talk about me como your inspiration, me alegra saber que te inspiro, que disfrutas with my work, y trabajaré por seguir sacando una sonrisa en ti y en todo el que visit my blog; por cierto, the image that you show here (collage) is pretty. Siento no saber mas English para poder expresarte mi agradecimiento, but… Thanks you very much Raquel (Rachell).
Saludo;)
Hey, this guy is really good. Hope he can make some of those illustrations into stamps :) That would be great!!
Hope you are doing well!! It would be nice to see some of your new illustrations soon!
Have a nice day!!
Thank you for sharing his artwork with us! I bet YOU were the inspiration for his drawing of the pregnant woman…Take good care.
Gustavo is one of my favorite illustrators, his work is so great!
