“From the White Horse, with Love” is a short fiction zine self-published by two friends of mine from New York: Richard Keeshan and the super talented Danielle Blumstein, my roommate when I lived in the East Village.
I did all the illustrations.
The stories are great and the project is very, very cool. I love working on collaborations like this. Always a pleasure.
If anyone is interested, I have a few issues to give away. Message me here and I’ll get in touch!
Lots of Love from Deutschland.

Hello my dears,
At last, I am back. It has been a long time indeed.
I am in Switzerland at the moment, and for those of you who have never been here in the summer, I entirely recommend it. It’s light, green and so beautiful.
I have been drawing LOTS and working on tons of different projects: children’s clothes for a client in LA, portraits for a client in NY, business cards, logos and stationery for a client in Brazil, a children’s book, a book of short stories and a brand new blog project. I am breathless and in need of a good nap, but excited and inspired.
I have updated my website and added a number of new pieces and projects there. Check them out on www.atelierjoanafaria.com - I hope you like it!
I am always posting pictures, sketches and work in progress on Instagram. For updates, follow me @joanafaria.
Lots of love from Switzerland.

A summer tale of four sisters, two rabbits and a very interesting boy.
And finally, this is what the final piece looks like:
This was such a sweet little project. I loved the book (yes, I had to read it in order to draw this cover) and I tried to make good use of my newly acquired watercolor skills. The story itself is quite timeless. There isn’t an indication of when it’s taking place, so I took some liberties and decided to play around with acid colors and do something kind of retro-looking. It was a lot of fun.
Lots of love.

Here are the remaining two illustrations I did for brand new book Fashion Africa, written by blogger and fashion designer Jacqueline Shaw.
♥ This one was for ethical fashion label Black Noir
♥ And this one was for UK-based fashion label Choolips.
This was a lovely project to take part in. It was intense and a lot of hard work but I am very happy with my final pieces and delighted that the book launch was such a huge success. Jacqueline is a great lady and a woman of vision. She deserves it!

♥ Hello, my lovelies. Sorry for my absence lately. After a very hectic illustration marathon for London Fashion Week, I decided to take a breather from the blogosphere. My life has been a little crazy these last few days so I took a few days off to reboot.
Do bear with me though, as I have a lot of new and exciting illustrations to post!
Let me start by showing you one of the pieces I did for Fashion Africa, the book by fashion designer Jacqueline Shaw.
This piece was to illustrate the chapter about Nigerian label and designer Ituen Basi.
I LOVE the colors. Aren’t they beautiful? I believe it is not humanly possible to be unhappy if one is wearing this dress.
