Once again we start seeing the familiar broken umbrellas in the public rubbish bins (trash cans). I think this winter has been wetter than previous so I have honestly been trying to stay inside. That well may be the reason why I have only seen only one of these iconic images so far. On a good winter day (bad weather day really), it's not unusual to walk down the street and come across two or three prime examples of what the wind will do in Welly.

Miss Leda Petit
Sketch inspired on a performance by burlesque artist Miss Leda Petit. I saw her a few months ago in the first Miss New Zealand Burlesque. It was a spectacular show and it was really classy. To the contrary of what one may believe, the show was very well organized and all the girls had stellar numbers.
Even though Miss Leda Petit didn't win the competition, I believe she was the best one of the participants. Her number involved champagne and a bath tub... I know it may sound a bit risque but believe me, it was all nicely done. She looked like a movie star from the 40's or 50's and had all the elegance that came with it.
Pinup heaven!

Marcel Nogueira d' Eurydice
Oh garoto!
If you ever come across a guy who has a passion for Linux and open source software make sure he doesn't go by the name of Marcel Nogueira d' Eurydice. He won't leave in you in peace and you'll have a monotonous drone in your ear ... "Linux... Linux... Linux" or "python... python... python". Never have I seen such fanaticism and devotion in a person. He beats us applefans!! hahahaha
Despite this little quirkiness in his behavior, he's really a cool guy. It's amazing how many friends he's been able to harvest in these 9 months he's been in NZ. It's as if he actually grows them from out of nowhere. No matter where he may end up, he comes back with great stories of his adventures that will always involve music and staying in really random places.
Wish you the best of luck on your travels and hope to see you again my friend.
Cuidate hermanito. hehehe

MacDiarmid Student Symposium 2010
Just finished the illustration for the MacDiarmid Student Symposium. This is the third illustration I've made for this series of Symposiums although only the last two have the same characters. The style of the illustration has changed slightly and so have the characters in order to fit the theme of the current symposium.
You can view the previous illustration here.
