Secret Diary of a Call Girl-Ring My Bell!

Why did I even mention it in my last post that spring was just around the corner?? As luck would have it, we totally got dumped on overnight with the snow still continually falling! There seems to be no end in sight and its sooo cold. That will be the last time I comment on the weather....

I was cleaning up my hard drive and came across this illustration that I did last year.

I have been following Ashley Madekwe's blog for a while now. She's an actress that I first saw on Secret Diary of a Call Girl a few years back and have loved her style ever since. You can read more about her style tips and other adventures on her blog: Ring My Bell. I am just lovin' those clogs!

That's all for now but will have lots more illustrations in the next little while.

xoxo With Love.

Happy Saturday!

It's so great that spring is just around the corner. I love how the days are already much longer and warmer and there's no more snow in sight!



I'm just going to make this brief and share some stuff that I had worked on a while back. The first is a business card/logo that I was commissioned to do for a business out in Cali. The last two are just some ideas that I was playing around with for my avatars. I just love those little booties. They were my best purchase all year!

Back to Work!

So I'm finally back to blogging and updating my work online. I won't really get into all the crazy goings on of the past few months. I will however say that the hiatus was definitely good for me, especially in terms of my creativity being rekindled and being inspired to illustrate again!

I have been in the process of updating my website but managed to completely mess it up. As of right now, charmainedsilva.com is unavailable! Oh brother! Its going to take a week or so to figure out the code and either fix the little problems or completely create a new site and start from scratch. The latter may actually be the best solution for me. This way I can understand how everything works and don't have to consult a web design team every time I need to make the smallest changes! I also want to add a sort of comic strip feel to the site. I'm thinking of doing an ongoing series...but that's all still in the works.

In the meantime, I am still pluggin' away. I recently completed this piece for a business out in California. Please check out Meg's great photography at Vie : Exposé .
