Once a diva, always a diva. Welcome back, Whitney.

Cedric Rivrain: Illustrator Extraordinaire

I think I should share this with you guys, I could not just let it pass me, or you, by. Enjoy this wonderful pieces of art.

My jaw dropped when I saw these, I mean literally. This illustrations work is so completely stunning. I do drawing sometimes but still not good at it... and these illustrations are just beautiful.

I like how he can make the garment looks so real. The way he uses colored/textured paper also add more dramatic effect to his drawings. And I bet you can recognize some of the faces here, can't you? Take a guess ;)

This is Dila's favorite, the Balenciaga sculpture shoe

It is here that I introduce you to Cedric Rivrain. Fashion illustrator extraordinaire, and a true talent at capturing the beauty of a model and her garment, armed with a simple lead pencil and a few colors to match.

"Holi, also called the Festival of Colours, is a popular Hindu spring festival observed in India, Guyana, and Nepal. On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing colored powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes, is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the colored powders has a medicinal significance: the colors are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors."

Yes, Holi festival. One of my favorite things. It always, always leaves a smile on my face when I watch it on TV or if I see some photos of this beautiful celebration. It's full of color, joy, but still sacred the same time. I'd love to go to India to join them, someday. I'll go dancing and spread the love.
