Art inspiration

A brand new set of postcard is now available on nextlola’s shops on Etsy and DaWanda.

This time I really had a lot of fun getting ispiration by three artists: Botticelli, Frida Kahlo and Steinlen.

I am already looking for new masterpieces to be restyled in Nextlola’s sauce, any suggestions? :)

I am also going crazy trying to find the best background for my postcards sets, as a nice picture is very important to lead people right in your shop to discover what you do.

There’s still a lot of work to do for me…the only not asleep Zoo-member!

Pepe’s birthday

My little boy Pepe is two years old today!

He was found closed in a plastic bag  threw out into a garbage bin on the street when he was just 2 days old… luckily he screams really loud.

When he arrived in our lives he was just 8 days old, and he was so tiny and fragile that we were scared he could die although our 24/7 loving cares.

Today he’s a two years old strong and very lively little man.

I want to wish to you, cruel human asshole who tried to kill my beloved boy (and to the other ugly people like you) a very horrible summer.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PEPE!

Yoga-cat: don’t try this at home!

Question:

- Am I the only envious of his flexibility?

WARNING: No animals were harmed to do these pictures…actually this is one of  Pepe’s favourites sleeping positions. He’s a weird cat.

Alice in Wokland

Doesn’t matter how cool, fun, soft, comfortable and expensive will be the bed you will chose for your cats…at the end they will always ignore it to go to sleep in the weirdest place they could find…as a wok!  …or the beloved evergreen cartoon box.

Yes, time to make some order in the Zoo-messy-house.

The worst part is to continuously bring out cats from open furniture, one by one, again and again. The one who’s not in furniture is playing to “push and destroy” with your fragile stuff temporary out of the furniture; another one will be probably sleeping into your brand new wok; the second one now took the place of the first one in the furniture while the fourth one is missing…as to say that he’s probably doing a bigger disaster far from your eyes.

No chance to get bored in the Zoo-house :)

Zoo wedding party

Three new greetings folded cards are now available in the Zoo shops online: Etsy and DaWanda.

With a brand new entry, the Zoo Wedding Party illustration. Zoo is celebrating  joyfully the happy event, and playing hide and seek…can you see all ten of them?

In the mood for being…Frida Kahlo

Definitely the perfect excuse for those days you wake up too lazy to do all those things will make you look as a woman and not as a monkey :)

The birth of Venus

Yeah, she’s finally born!

It took me a lot of patience to convince Lola (she’s so shy!), and a long work to convert the Botticelli’s painting into a Venus in Nextlola’s style, but here we are.

And this is just the beginning :)
