Sneak Peeks and Bonus!

Hello world full of gorgeous people! Yes, all of you are beautiful, sounds corny and all but it don't mean it ain't true! Anyway...I hope you've had a wonderful week so far. If not, well...I'll wish really hard for a fabulous next week. Ahhh, I'm just full of love and caring today (hopefully it'll stay that way for a while). Here's a sneak peak at some pinups I'm working on for a friend. If you'd like me to draw you some characters, portraits, heck anything, hit me up! cbenillustration@gmail.com I'm currently taking commissions and stuff. If you don't, spread the word to your friends anyway! Artists gotta eat somehow haha

And I have a bonus today! Here's the final jacket for the latest book I illustrated together with the help of Jason Piperberg. The book is already being printed and will be sold in Dominican Republic and in Germany! WOOT! Go International sales! Oh, did I mention? Thanks to the amazing author, the inside illustrations will be printed in full color! Ahhhh, so busy but happy. Sorry about the low res. I'll make another post once I have a hard copy of it, it's actually a pretty interesting book (I'll definitely talk more about it later).

I hope you have a beautiful weekend full of happy adventures. Love you all! Stay true and beautiful <3

Salsa Picante!

Hello again beautiful earthlings!

I hope this week has been pleasant, if not I will keep hoping for more pleasant weeks for all of you. I know I’ve been having somewhat of a tough time balancing work and wellness. I’m sure you can all relate to the sleepless nights and all that jazz. Anyway! I have yet to release this because it has not yet been printed. but again, I got permission from the client recently so here it is.

This baby had a lot of variations but I think after a few tweaks here and there this hot sauce label will be ready to hit the market. I’m not sure it will be sold in the U.S., but at least eventually it will be selling period (hopefully…crossing my fingers on that one still). It was a very difficult feat since I tend to be very spontaneous with my work. But nonetheless it’s good to exercise some precision and this definitely took a lot of precision and reworking, and rulers, and exact measurements.

I hope you enjoy your weekend! Peace, love, don't forget to stay true and beautiful <3
