The Real One

Here's a clip from "Sensualidad" so you get to meet the actual Ninon Sevilla! <3

Sensualidad

Just FYI, I'm a HUGE fan of the golden age of the Mexican cinema, I'm a sucker for all that black and white drama, the gorgeous elegant divas covered in fur and diamonds, the handsome, dark haired, tall gentlemen, the voluptuous gracious dancers and Art Deco!!! My favorite dancer/actress would be the gorgeous Ninon Sevilla, born in Cuba, graced with feline features, wonderful legs and exceptional vitality, one of my favorite movies from her is "Sensualidad" (Sensuality) where she portrays an ex-convict dancer who makes the man who locked her in jail to fall in love with her, making him destroy his own life...I know! it's awesome! Here's my tribute to this gorgeous lady!

Feel Good Friday

HELLO!! It's Friday, I'm in love!...with my workout routine, now let me tell you more about the many wonders about Ed's Boot Camp.
I got into it because of my sister (our beautiful orange dress princess <3) she's such an athlete, she got me and my other sister onto it, her move was this, she heard it was an intense workout so if she could handle this then she was gonna do parkour (she's starting next month yikes! c:) this workout routine is a combination of many different exercises on a fast pace, including cardio it's also called the 1000 calories workout so you can imagine the amount of sweat produced per minute, and let me tell you guys it's AMAAZING! I went a size down in one month and the coolest part of this is that it's only 3 days per week, I'm so happy of seeing the results besides it's so much fun!
I totally recommend this to everybody, the only crappy part about it is that since the routine is not the same everyday at least a couple days every two weeks you'd be sore :/ but as they say "No pain, no gain"
Have an awesome weekend!!!! :*:*:*:*:*:*

P.S. If you don't live in Miami look up for any other boot camp (it's the same, just make sure it says boot camp)

Dancing on the Clouds

Here you can have a better view of the ballroom, it's a short video but I love it! there's the b'day girl dancing with her father "The Princess Diaries Waltz" by John Debney...who chose the song?...ME!
Thank you SO MUCH! Colin for sending us the video! :)

XV Princess!

Okay, so I have to apologize, I promised to be uploading pictures constantly the day of the ball but I was still sooo busy! we had so many last minute changes and even 5 minutes before the ball I was making the list of the family members who were about to dance with the b'day girl. The event was incredible, if possible perfect! everything came out properly...thank God! so I'll be uploading an album shortly named XV on our facebook page If you haven't liked us then what are you waiting for? apparently I'll be having more free time to create this other half of the year, just keep in touch!
This is the dress we ended up getting for the b'day girl, I didn't like it in the beginning but now I'm more convinced it fits perfectly with her personality and the theme of the XV Ball

Belle from Beauty & the Beast Makeup

LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT! I'm gonna make a test on my sister to see if it matches her garment for the XV Ball!

XV

So...July is here! (for about 11 days already) I've been working on and off on my work because three weeks ago I enrolled at this thing called "Ed's Boot Camp" and I swear by God that for the past weeks I've been in pain in several parts of my body...parts that I had NO IDEA they could hurt! So finally I was able to recover the sensitivity on my limbs and I'm here! :D
My sister's XV Ball will be on July the 31st and I am hysterical! let me tell you, trying to organize a ball this big that will take place in Mexico City and organizing from the USA it's a mission, a mission that thank God we were able to achieve yayyy! So you are all invited to this celebration! I will take lots of pictures during the event and I'll be posting on twitter? maybe?
I hope you have an amazing week!

Mulan Bride

Again, the beautiful talented Michelle Phan created a beautiful make up design inspired by princess Mulan, I love the background images she use on every video, this one looks amazing! and I love how she gets so creative with the hair line and the lips make up, this is probably one of her best make up tutorials, oh yeah, and the music is gorgeous!

Catalina Piedrahita Photography

I am truly blessed to call this amazing photographer my bff, This incredibly talented young lady has a BFA in Visual Arts and recently certified as a fashion and advertising photographer.
Her work has always been colorful and intense, she managed to transfer the energy she is able to create with watercolor and oil on paper and canvas to photography, her work posses unique traits and features that give such a creative twist to fashion photography, I wish nothing but the best to her and I miss her sooo much! Her work is now available and on sale, I would definetley encourage you to add her portfolio to your collection...it's pretty awesome! c:

Happy Father's Day!

This song reminds me so much to my dad, this is one of the things we have in common (besides the good looks ;)), we both love this song and since I'm feeling very sentimental today I want to share it to celebrate fathers day. I know most of us have or had amazing fathers, but I was truly blessed to have such an amazing man to call father, he has always been an example of courage, strength, love, friendship and wisdom. I love you papa c:

A New Collection??

I came back from Mexico City last weekend, and apparently I came back with a massive amount of work to do, despite the 20 new pieces I have to create to apply for my MFA I have to design about 5, maybe 8 new evening dresses, graduations start in June (Oh yeah, including mine @.@) so I've been rushing trying to finish these illustrations so I could jump right into the new work, I'm still unsure if I should make a collection out of these new designs since for me they don't look cohesive, though I'm still thinking about it :P
Anyhow, thank you guys so much for liking my page on facebook, it means the world to me to have your support c: I'll keep you guys updated with these dresses and then...the new work! :D
Hope you have an incredible end of the week, one more day and we're off to a 3 day weekend whoo-hooh!

My Fantasy Mermaid Photoshoot (Video Blog)

Besides being utterly beautiful, Promise Tamang Phan is such a creative, remarkable make-up artist just like her sister Michelle, the difference with Promise is that her make-up tutorials are mostly targeted to theater or costume design, I accidentally ran into this video and it was like a dream...a classy beautiful girl dressed like a mermaid on a beautiful beach.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

In my country we celebrate Mother's Day today! so here's for the most amazing woman, father, best friend, but above all, to the most incredible mother in the whole world, thank you so much for loving me unconditionally, for accepting me how I am, and for looking after me, I love you so much!

"Last Dance" Inspired by Donna Summer's garment in the movie "Thank God it's Friday" model: my mother c:

Monsieur David Gilson c:

I don't think this remarkable and talented artist is as recognized as he should be. David Gilson was born in France and worked in several projects including a TV Series called "Magic" produced and developed in his home country, he is currently working at the Walt Disney Consumer Products as an illustrator, he developed several sketches and conceptual art for the creation of Rapunzel
in the film "Tangled".This man's career is incredible, we worked mostly for the "Disney Reinassance" films such as Hercules and Tarzan, he never stops working, he updates his blog constantly so we get to see plenty of the beautiful work of this incredible man!

Wynwood Market tomorrow!!! (5Stars)

I love jewelry, especially the one that's made with love and care, it creates that magical effect of having something unique and special in your belongings.
I know I promised to present a bunch of new stuff for the Wynwood Market tomorrow, but because I had some inconveniences I haven't been able to finish "Lucky" I'm still fighting for "Clearwater" to be released for Valentine's Day, I'm making everything that's possible! So, having said that, 5Stars by jewelry designer Luiza Del Angel will be taking Pin Up Creative studios' place at the Art Walk, I will be selling along with my beautiful sister and partner of 5Stars, this small company's jewelry and accessories, they are very unique, this company has different designers with different tastes for jewelry and stones, so you will be able to notice the wide variety of work that will be presented, I have designed and create four pieces for this company but they're being exhibited and sold at the Euphoria styling studio, please contact me if you're interested ;)
I hope you have an amazing weekend, and if you're having an early celebration of Valentine's Day this weekend, I hope you have a wonderful time with the one you love :)

Italians Do it Better!

I found this talented gentleman on flickr about a couple years ago, photography and illustration are his strongest skills.
This pieces remind me to Egon Schiele and Tim Burton, these images are so attractive due to the fact that even though some compositions make the viewer uncomfortable, you can't stop looking at them, they possess this special trait that make the work very unique and contemporary.
From Rome I present to you the creative artwork of Francesco Mascia!

Kathy's Dream Room!

This project was done last week!, I basically did my sister's homework, the idea was to create her Dream Bedroom and include challenging elements such as posters, bed covers, books etc
I think it came out pretty cute! I used a variety of mediums like wood, paper, fabric, stamps and so, my favorite pieces are the mirror and the bean bag ^.^

Pin Up Creative Studios, Journey to Neverland, Clearwater and more! :))

Happy February the 1st!!!
Apparently, seems like this year many many great things will come for me, such as having more time to update my website, this blog, flickr, deviantart etc, so taking advantage that it's the 1st day of February to make some announcements!
I've decided to create a small company called Pin Up Creative studios, this will be a new brand for my artwork and eventually It will grow and hopefully many many amazing things will come for it :)
"Journey to Neverland" is the name of my new series of illustrations, which will be revealed probably until summer, I'm still working on the mood boards, inspiration, etc so it will take time.
"Clearwater" is a small storyboard presentation of an original story that has been on my mind since probably three years ago! and hopefully it will be released as a video (ow yeah!) along with my first children's book called "Lucky" on February the 12th at the Wynwood Market (I'll keep you updated) and if time is enough I might even create a Lucky plush doll! :))
"Freaky for the Opposite" is a tiny little series inspired by Alice in Wonderland, that will be Pin Up Creative Studio's first product launch and they will be sold as postcards @ the Wynwood market, depending if they're successful I might create more! :)))
And I might throw out some cute little FanArt for Valentine's Day on Deviantart!
Finally Pin Up Creative studios portfolio is ready! you can download it on my website www.krisdelangel.com @ the portfolio page!
Well I hope you have an amazing month filled with love, friendship and happinness!!
