My "Alice in Wonderland" for Forever21

March 31, 2010





Hey Friends, well i have some exciting news!
Today, I was featured in Forever21's magazine. Also, the article mentioned a little something about a Little Collaboration i'm doing with Forever21!! :)
I'm really excited about it. The Collaboration is still a little bit away from coming out. As far as the magazine, I did a few paintings for the "Alice in Wonderland" editorial. As I did the painting, I thought I would make a drawing process video for yawl. So this video was born out of it.
It is crazy, I had to speed the video up 6,000 times faster! haha
There is going to be a give away of my 2 limited edition prints of my paintings for F21. If you want to win one, click and enter in the give away.

Oh also, the song from the video was written by my really good friend Tim Frost. I stay with Tim & his wife Deanda every time i go out to Texas. But there is a cool story with the album. Tim wrote this album for his son, who loved Nintendo sound effects. So he wrote this full album inspired by video game sounds. Basically, it's completely brilliant, and is one of my favorite albums! The album's name is "Beadbox"! haa How awesome is that. I draw to this album all the time. He just put it up on itunes. If you want to buy it click here! Also, thank you so much to Elite Model Management for your post of my painting of Masha Kirsanova.

p.s. thanks for the formspring questions. i started the account to answer more personal questions than professional, if you have professional questions, email info@igorandandre.com . If you have questions, go to: http://www.formspring.me/DannyJRoberts

Masha Kirsanova at Chris Benz

March 30, 2010


A Painting by igor and andre fashion artist Danny Roberts of Elite management model Masha Kirsanova


Well my friends,
how did your day go for you?
I had a good day.
Spent the morning writing music,
and then i worked on researching, printing, gluing, and making a new inspiration book/ idea book.
It's going really well! Finished about thirty pages in the book.
The Painting today is of a wonderful model named Masha Kirsanova.
She has a wonderful look.
I had the honor of getting to go backstage at Chris Benz's show,
Which allowed me to take tons of pictures, which i've posted a few ;)
But the reason it was so great to go backstage,
is i finally got to make my own drawing references! Woot woot!!! Finally huh?!
So this is my second painting of my pictures!
The first one was the previous post
I really hope you like it! :)

I have to say it was so trippy having my picture next to Carine Roitfeld (French Vogue)! hahaha

6th Character Sketch - Remember When Saturday

March 20, 2010


Artist Danny Roberts 6th drawing ever of fashion model gemma ward in volume 1 of his character sketchbook


OOOOOh ok so,
I ♥ Saturday's!
hahah How's your day going?
Been having a relaxing day with my family.
I had an idea today for a posting series I'm going to start...
Since i've only been able to draw for about 3-4 years,
I thought i would start a weekly post called "Remember When".
It's going to consist of drawings that i did back when i was starting to learn how to draw.
Thought it could be a cool/fun way to encourage you all that if you like something and want to learn something,
With some hard work, you can do anything. :)

The drawing today was my 6th drawing ever of Gemma Ward that i did 4 years ago.
It's from Volume 1 of my Character Sketchbook.
If you don't know about my Character Sketchbook i have some info on it here. ;)
I hope you like it.
Hope you're having a wonderful Saturday!

the silhouette of A guy and girl kissing it

Happy Thursday!
How's your day going?
Is this week moving incredibly fast for you?
My week is moving crazily fast!
Well, today's post was my first basic attempt with painting with light...
i know it's just a simple silhouette...
but this was just a base concept for a few idea's i had with using light to paint!
Just wait!
Hopefully, i will have some examples soon.
But i really like how this one turned out.
I love the mood...
It makes me think of a couple in Love, running off to elope together in the middle of the night.
Oh, this is the 11th painting from my "Series on Love"
i hope you like it! :)

Her name is Jenna Sauers and she is a former model from New Zealand,
