Elizabeth Taylor - Tribute

March 24, 2011


Artist Danny Roberts Tribute to the Great America Actress and icon Elizabeth Taylor on the cover of Screen magazine in the 1940s

Hello Friends,
As i'm sure you all know, the amazing Icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away yesterday, so i thought i would paint a tribute to her career and to who she was as a person. The reference image looks like it's from the 1940s, but it just really stood out to me. She has a grace & charm about about her. I hope you like it :)

Marchesa Fall 2011

March 23, 2011


Fashion Artist Danny Roberts Experiment 3d photo and Digital Painting of Marchasea Fall 2011 Lace dress from New York Fashion Week

Morning!
So i'm really excited to show you a little project i've been experimenting with. I know it's really really really different than my usual work. But I'm someone who likes to constantly experiment. I really don't like doing the same technique or medium twice. So i thought it would be interesting to try my hand at 3d Modeling + Digital Painting. So this was one of my first experiments.

It's from Marchasea Fall 2011. Which if you haven't seen it check it out here.
I've been a fan of Marchesa Collections, and the second i saw this dress I got the idea of a girl laying down with the dress flared out on an ornate rug under her, and i really like how it turned out. It's so trippy don't you think? I hope you like it.

Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011 - Version 2.0

March 22, 2011


Artist Danny Roberts of Igor and andre Mix media painting of john galliano Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011

Good Morning Friends!
Sorry for the 5-6 day absence. I decided since I passed up my 600th blog post a few weeks ago, that I should give Igor+André a facelift. So that's what I've been doing over the last few weeks, and yikes, it was a learning experience. I didn't know much about web design/coding in blogspot format so I had a crash course in it. So what do you think of the new look? I really like how it turned out. I'm not sure about you, but looking through the site and the different categories is like rediscovering the content. For some reason I feel like the scroll through experience is light years better now. But I would love to hear your thoughts :)

I thought I would post the original Color version of my Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring 2011 painting. I posted a Black & White Version of the picture a few weeks ago, but i really like the color version too, so voila! Here it is. ;) I hope you like it, and hope you're having an amazing day!

Morning my Friends!
Happy Inspiration Friday!! :)
Wow i've had way too many late nights this week!
But it's been good learning so much.
I'm so excited for you to see what i've been working on! :)
Most of the images in the Inspiration Friday set are from one of my favorite movies, A Midsummer Nights Dream (1935).
The movie is magical so i thought i would throw a set together based on it.
I hope you're having a very inspirational day!

March 3, 2011


Artist Danny Roberts Black and white painting portrait of Polish Model poland Kaja Sokola number 212 in igorandandre character sketch book

Hi Friends!
Well the week is almost to a close! (finally)
I'm so exhausted, been a few late ones over the last few weeks.
I've been editing a video, thought i would have it ready for you today,
but it looks like it's going to be up on Sunday!
I hope you like it. :)
The Mixed media painting today is from my Character Sketch Book.
It's of a Polish model who i really think has an interesting look...
her name is Kaja Sokola.
I drew Kaja awhile back, it was just a Scribble Sketch.
So i wanted to do a more polished picture this time around.
It was hard to find many images of her, but i really liked this one.
I'm looking forward to seeing more shoots with her.
I hope you like the painting :)
and hope you're having a great day!
