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 .

Happy Bloggerversary to me!!

Hey Everyone! I know it's been a while but I have been a bit busy and also a little under the weather. Aside from that..I've spent some time basking in the (albeit temporary) Toronto sunshine and then the rest of these past days holed up in my house just catching up on TV and flaking out on the sofa! I'm still wearing my Xmas PJ's to boot! I have turned into somewhat of a couch potato, I must admit. It's been the recurring theme in my art as well! Ah well, for today I will blame that on the rainy, stormy weather! I have managed to get some work done though.

Monday was the one-year anniversary for my blog and website. I didn't do much in the way of celebrations but I did eat a lot of cupcakes to compensate for not having a party!! Anyhow, I haven't been the best at keeping either site updated but promise to regularly to do so. Also I have set up a Facebook Fan Page so if you are on Facebook please join and show your support. I hope to have giveaways and frequent updates of events and shows that I will be attending.
I hope everyone had a fabulous EASTER long weekend!


xoxo with love.
