i am a self-defined Nuyorican creative (that is a Puerto Rican who is from both the isles of Manhattan, NYC and the Caribbean). I share daily in the joy of education and live in a cute port town in New York, in a 'teensy-weensy' apartment with my two dogs and canary named Valentino. Check out my Etsy shop for purchasable pieces. Please do not reproduce imagery off of this site without explicit credit and no derivatives may be made of my original imagery- Thank You.
This is an illustration that I did based on a Caribbean version of how much is that doggie in the window...the name of the shop is Island Pets. The little girl has no money but is willing to trade everything she owns for that scraggly little dog. This is Illustration has a lot of sentimental value for me because 1. Its a prophetic illustration (see my blog post of the same name) and 2. my husband artist Gregg Emery illustrated the walking silhouetted figures outside the shop in his trademark loose style which complements my tight style so well!!
