Artist Danny Roberts Experimental Sketch painting of a girl looking over her shoulder


Hi Friends!
How's your week going?
My week is insane! haha
Well, i guess my next two weeks;
The Pre-Fashion Week Buzz is definitely keeping me busy.
So many deadlines over the next few...
I haven't got a chance to look through the Couture Shows yet!
ah! i really want to!
But please forgive me if my posting is a little scattered over the next few weeks!
i'm trying to get some pieces up.

Which brings me to today's piece.
It was a little experimental painting i did.
I really like how it turned out.
It's a lot different, style wise, to my other pieces.
I like the mood of it...

Well... my good friend has a birthday party tonight, so i must be off!
I hope you're doing great! :)

P.S. If you could send all Fashion Show Invites to Info@igorandandre.com that would help me alot! Thanks so much :)

Hey Friends!
Well, i'm pleased to show you a new painting i did for my friend from the other side of the world, Bryanboy.
He had the great idea of having me paint his header picture,
which i was really excited to do.
It was pretty fun painting the "Power Players" of the Fashion Industry.
Also, with Fashion week coming up, it was fun getting into the fashion show mode.
The people in the picture from left to right are the following...
Michael Roberts (Vanity Fair), Bryanboy, Sally Singer(Vogue), Anna Wintour (Vogue), Hamish Bowles (Vogue).
I really hope you like it!
Also, check it out on BryanBoy's Site :)

Oh, also, i was trying to think of ideas for some shows on the Igor+André channel.
Is there any show you would want me to do? Like drawing tutorials? or interviews?
Just let me know :)
and one of my twitter friends suggested i broadcast some of my daily drawing to Ustream.
Is that something you would be interested in?
or would that be too boring? haha
Let me know...
hope you're having a great night. :)

OH yea! Also, I forgot to tell you!
I'm going to be on the panel for the Chictopia10 Social Influence Summit.
It should be really fun. Some other speakers are

A Ballerina Named Sasha

January 12, 2010


Drawing number 70 out of Artist Danny Roberts Character Sketchbook of  Sasha Pivovarova


Hello, friends! How was your day?
Mine was great; been working on a painting. Hopefully i will have it done by tomorrow...
It's a really fun picture, full of major fashion "Power Players". Hah
I'm working on it for one of my friends. I think it's going to turn out nice. :)

Oh, ok, so the drawing today is Drawing #70 out of volume one of my Character Sketchbook.
Wow! It seems like light years ago that i drew this picture...
ah... such simple times... :)
I think this was one of the first color pictures in the Sketchbook.
The picture was drawn with these super cheap fine tip pens,
and it was of Sasha Pivovarova.
She looked to me like a Ballerina in it.
I don't know why, but i think i've always had a crush on ballerinas.
They're so graceful and magical!
Like Cate Blanchett in the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"... so wonderful!

Well, my friends, I hope you are doing great!
Right now... not sure why, but i have a big 'ol headache right now... ah! not good...
but good night :)

Dancing With Strings - Inspiration Friday

January 8, 2010
















Yay! Happy Inspiration Friday, my friends!
So i posted the song i wrote the other day.
Let me know what you think of it :)
The lovely Miss Christie Dupree is going to do vocals for it.
I'm really really excited about it.
The Instruments: Typewriter (for the beat), Cello, viola, Violin, Piano, Pads, other stuff but can't remember...

Also, I had an project idea today that involves whoever wants to be apart of it.
The program is called "Blind Imagination"
So basically the concept is:

1: You go out and record and put together 1-2 minutes of "Interesting" Audio and Email it to me at info@igorandandre.com
2: Then I will listen to it, and i will try to come up with a visual for the audio i pick.

Try to make it interesting, and make it hard to for me to figure out what the audio is of. :)
Whatcha think?

Danny Roberts Painting of a snow globe for a Lancome Joyeuses Fetes


YAY! Hello Friends!
I'm missed you all so much!
It seriously was really tough not blogging for the last few weeks.
Thank you all for being so understanding about the break.
So... I have so much to tell you! ah!
I might need to video blog to fully fill you in ;)

But anyways! i'm back and ready to rock!
I've been writing music over the last few days. So relaxing!
I think i might post tomorrow, a song I just wrote yesterday...

The post today was one of my first concept paintings i did for Lancome.
It was a fun little concept to paint.
I liked how the snow globe turned out.

Oh, also, i had an idea to start a web channel named "Igor+André Channel"
So, i'm not sure how it's going to come together, and not sure who would be involved with it,
but hopefully, the idea comes together.
Oh me, oh my, i have so much to say, most i can't talk about yet!
Very exciting times! Happy 2010 :)
