Art on a Postcard and Culture Label

This is what I love about art. Making fabulous images and helping people who really need it. So starting today and until September 1st, ART ON A POSTCARD and CULTURE LABEL will be holding a postcard lottery to raised funds to cure Hepatitis C (The Hepatitis C Trust). One of my hand made postcards is in the lottery! It's only £10 and you can own one of the many amazing postcards made by some pretty great artists.

Here's a picture of my postcard.

Vivir en El Poblado

Some new work just got published in local paper from Medellin called Vivir en El Poblado. The article highlights several species of fauna and how they have had to adapt to a an ever-growing city. Thanks to Laura Montoya and Saul Alvarez for allowing me to be a part of the newspaper once more!

109World

I'm very excited to announce I am working with 109World in hopes of helping out communities in dire need around the world.

"We are in the midst of our #109water campaign and received this amazing artwork by @cativillegas. We still have a long way to go to our fundraising goal in order for us to give an entire community in Nicaragua access to safe water but with your help we are getting there! Spread the word and repost this picture! Donate at www.109world.com/donate or PayPal leticia@109world.com. Buy one of products at www.109world.com/shop 

On another note, did you know that seahorses are the only species on earth in which the male falls pregnant and carries the young to term?  This majestic creature is highly endangered because of its attractive qualities. Traditional medicine trade, jewelries, aquarium trade and unsustainable methods of fishing puts the seahorse at high risk of extinction."

Experiments in typography

So busy working on MATS Editorial Week! Time flies by! Type isn't my forte, so I traced some of my favorite fonts and mixed them up with flowers and an unusual color combination for me. Here's where I live right now. An intensely complex city, still shaking off a violent past that keeps on being portrayed in the media as a current thing. It's such an enchanting place, the weather is great (spring year round), fresh fruit everywhere, the people are so friendly it's kind of ridiculous, a truly cosmopolitan city with amazing natural wonders all around it.
