Rufus + la Didu, wedding invitations :)

This is a commission I completed a while ago for Reile from the Netherlands. Being one of my most faithful collectors, she asked me to draw a couple of pictures for her wedding (invitations and thank you notes), featuring Rufus  (with fluffy ears instead of his trademark horns) and la Didu (female counterpart that appearead in just one drawing some centuries ago). Reile just sent me picture of the invitations… and they look great

Rufus meets iPod – iPhone

I basically live in a threesome… there’s me, my boyfriend and Apple. I think he would dump me if Steve Jobs asked him out… but luckily, Steve is busy doing other things and inventing uber cool new gadgets.
However,  some time ago, I gave to The Boyfriend a tiny and sweet Rufus drawing, which happened to be of just the right size to fit in his transparent iPod skin. And that’s the result:

I am thinking about turning this fortuitous discovery into something more organized… with cases and all. So, if anyone is interested in having an original illustration to slide in your iPod/Phone skin, drop me a line. I’ll soon have a small collection up for grabs. Stay tuned.

Rufus in a frame… super vintage!

Danila (Italy) is one of my first collectors… she even owns a t-shirt from my first fashion experiment (another project I’m planning to revive asap). She just sent me a couple of pictures of her framed monsters… in all their vintage glory! Those illustrations are among my oldest Rufus works… all pen, no markers, softer shapes, it’s like jumping in a time machine Thanks Danila!

Twitter!

it’s time for me an Rufus to crawl out of our cave and get a Twitter account. if you feel like reading what we are up to, you can find us at http://twitter.com/francescapeach
the username sucks, but my really long Italian name was too much

commission: holding hands

My last commission was fun. It was a birthday present for Guy’s wife.  Guy lives in the UK and already has a Rufus tattoo… which makes him incredibly cool  
anyways, it was a really easy and pleasant to work with him… he even sent me an adorable sketch of what he had in mind

We got rid of the tree because I hate drawing trees and we moved some stuff around, placing Sad Cloud in a web of stars.
Here’s some work in progress and the final result
