Igor and André

Danny Roberts.
Just saw his illustration 'Girls in Chanel Glasses' (and I got the exact pair!) and completely balled over by it! (If you are reading this, Danny...LOVE LOVE LOVE your work!) Gonna get my hands on the tshirt! £30 I heard. Worth every penny.

He scribbled on a piece of this work that 'life is stuck halfway in real life and the other half in a day-dream'. Just looking at his work and being a part of that dream for a while takes my breath away. How I wish I could put my dream world & real life out on paper like you...

Am still on the hunt to collect more of pictures of Danny's work to put on here, so meanwhile, check out http://igorandandre.blogspot.com/ and read about him. Only 24 years young (blinkin' cute too) and fantabulously talented... can't waaait to see more from him (and more OF him too eh!) ;)

Danny's self portrait

An wallpaper he put on his blog for this fans. How generous is that...


Woman in Dior
This portrait is exceptional. I love Lee and thus was truly stunned to see how Dan managed to capture the late maestro, reflecting strenth yet fragility at the same time.

Danny's Tribute to the late Liz Taylor



His experiment with different mediums. Ethereal...I LIKE.

From his earlier character sketchbook...gritty, raw, edgy but still so beautiful. (I put this as wallpaper on my computer) ^_^

Yet another self portrait


Yet another wallpaper from his blog

And another...

Dan's adaptation of P/S Spring 2011 (photo below), honestly prefer the illustration more...

Californian Danny Roberts, a 24-year-old artist thinker, as he defines himself, signs the unique fashion-inspired illustrations, mostly done with fine tip pens on paper displayed on his personal blog http://igorandandre.blogspot.com. With a lively, whimsical style that takes you back to childhood’s enchanting tales, Danny draws what he loves: glossy magazine covers, doll-faced supermodels (Lily Cole, Gemma Ward), dream-like designer collections (his favorites being Alexander McQueen and John Galliano) and portraits of inspiring fashion bloggers.

While the name of his artistic brand “Igor+André” is a well-kept secret there’s no mystery on how he got into fashion illustration. A creative nature, he began drawing as a young child, started his own clothing company at the age of 13 and ran it till college where he first studied Photography but it wasn’t until he started Fashion Design studies at the Academy of Art in San Francisco, that he discovered he wanted to be an illustrator.

Danny’s artwork has been already featured in fashion publications around the world including Vision (China), Marie Claire online (Spain) or Dazed and Confused (UK), but his artistic goal is to draw a cover of Vogue, bringing back the old style of the illustrated 1920s magazine covers, an era he’s much inspired by. Until then you can acquire your own Danny Roberts original painting or fine art print from his Etsy art store and check on his latest creative projects by following his personal web pages.
