Malvestida is a Mexican fashion blog that published an interview of the designer Farah Rescalvo, who you should know already.

There you go:

Who? Farah Rescalvo
What? Illustrator

1. How long have you been drawing for and how did you know you wanted to work on that?

Ever since I was 4 years old I realized how much I liked drawing. I used to draw with whatever I had in hand and wherever I could, like walls, mirrors and even my parent’s clothes. I guess I’m lucky because it was something innate and I’ve always been in touch with that part of me.


2. How is your creative process most of the time?

I don’t really follow a process; actually the ideas for my illustrations are the representation of my dreams. Everything I draw comes from my heart and mind, mostly when I’m sleeping.


3. Paper or digital?

Paper, always. Nothing more genuine and beautiful than expressing it physically.


4. Do you collect something? What?

Yes, I'm a bit obsessed with Woody Allen’s films, he is my cinematographic idol. Whenever I travel I try to find more of his movies in order to finally complete my collection.


5. What are you going to ask Santa Claus this year?

I think a good supply of Posca markers wouldn’t do any harm.

David Hockney

David Hockney is a multi-task English artist born in 1937 in the city of Bradford, England.
He has often been described as a "playboy of the art world", which made an important contribution to the 60s pop art movement. He is considered as one of the most influential British artist of the 20th century.
Indeed, he has exhibited his various works in the most prestigious galleries across the world. His success has not only been based on his works but on his original and strange personality too.
For those interested, a movie was made about him in 1974 and it is entitled "A Bigger Splash".

He has made tons of works including paintings, drawings and photos, so believe me it was hard to select only few of them.
I would recommend you to go on his website if you want to see more about his works.

Duane Hanson

The american hyperealist scultpor Duane Hanson was established as one of the leading sculptors of the late twentieth century.
Since the early 1970’s Duane Hanson has been making sculptures of middle American class from live models, recreated in bronze or fibreglass resin.

His incredible last work called "The American Dream" was exhibited this summer in Le Parc de la Villette, Paris.

"My images are no more than what you see in real life" - declared the american artist.

Below you will find some scupltures from the last exhibition in Paris.

An obvious common point of every works is: "Unhapiness". We can clearly see these works contain strong social comments...
