Lime + Mint / VOSS WATER

Is the 3rd flavoured sparkling water by VOSS and is already for sale. You can find it even in England by Selfridges.
I made the illustration for the Spring Design Partners Agency. The bottles look great, so does the sparkling water taste, I heard. I hope we can have them soon in Germany and Spain too :D

Architecture guide

for "Villaseca de Laciana", a village in a valley, in the Mountains of  Castilla y León, Spain.

Time ago I illustrated the covers for two biographic books, the two brothers who developed the milk industry also in this region. And it is for the same client that I have now illustrated this architecture catalogue of the urban-architectural history in this village.

I am sitting here in my working place, it is dark outside, it is already late!
But I can not leave! (well, I am leaving right now!) because I can not stop.
Sometimes I don't know how to stop doodling and drawing... like a madness, drawing more and more and more!
here the last drawing for you, two primitive dancers! Gute Naaacht! ;) I am leaving now, yes!

Happy Mother's Day!

To all the wonderful mothers in the world, who help, support, protect, give care... in one word: they give us their hearts.

Book Cover Illustration for Ventura Alvarado

The other "cheese maker" as I in a funny way call them.

Ventura Alvarado, by butter processing.
Final illustration.

Ventura Alvarado.
Previous Illustrations and sketches. I had to learn about the dairy tools.

It was not that easy to reach the final and optimal illustrations, because we had two factors:
They should look like the real personage, and there are not many pictures of them. So I had to figure out, for this pose how could they look like. The other thing, was the total ignorance that I had of the tools and instrumental to work with milk. And at this point I counted with the help of the author, who sent me as many pictures of these work tools as I needed.

Book Cover Illustration for Juan Alvarado

At last they are ready!
The illustrations for these interesting biographies of the two brothers, Juan and Ventura Alvarado.
They joined the Free Learning Institution (Institución de Enseñanza libre) which arrived to Spain under the doctrine of Krausism.
But their biggest achievements were in the dairy process in Villablino, a village between León and Asturias. Here started a big development in milk products and machinery which improved the cheese and butter industry across Spain.

The author, Víctor del Reguero, didn´t want they to stay in the obscurity. He and the "Club Xeitu" launched this initiative to publish the book for both biographies.
He entrusted me to do the cover's Illustrations so I learnt more about them and the milk manufacture.

Juan Alvarado by cream processing.

Progress Illustrations and previous sketches
They didn't work because he seems not to be working, but waiting for a photo :D
