Carnaval All Around! Artistic Collaboration with Desmo Records

Today is the launch of album A L A. S, an exciting project by Adriano Konialidis of Desmo Records. I so wish I could attend in flesh. Good luck!
The record will be landing in Virgin Megastores up and down the Gulf this month, and it will soon be available in shops across North America and the UK. Well done Adriano!

Here is the Time Out article on the project: http://www.timeoutdubai.com/nightlife/features/32545-adriano-k-in-dubai

Adriano invited a few artists to collaborate and design a limited edition poster for each song, under artistic direction of Leo Rosa Borges. I was very lucky to get on board! Thanks guys:)
My song was the remix of nostalgic and beautiful 'Carnaval el mi Barrio' by Luis Rubinstein.

This is the illustration I came up with:


And this is a taster of what the ready posters look like (from top to bottom: Achilleas Yerokostopulos, Matt Bonner, Leo Rosa Borges, mine and two designs by Guy Sinclair) :

Featured on front page of Saatchi Online, woohoo!

I am so excited, woke up this morning to a fantastic surprise!! My artworks got handpicked by Rebecca Wilson, the Director of the Saatchi Gallery for her 'Inspired by Gaugin' collection. The 'Secret Garden' painting featured in Saatchi Gallery newsletter and on the front page of Saatchi Online.






It was my two exotic landscapes with wild cats that caught Rebecca's eye:
