POSTER FOR THE 2015 CONEY ISLAND MERMAID PARADE USA
A little while ago I started working with the organisers of the Mermaid Parade in Coney Island designing their poster and some merchandise. They are amazing people that works really hard to keep American heritage alive and I am really proud that they asked me to do the artwork.
The painting in the poster itself is based on the tarot card The Sun, as the Mermaid Parade marks the beginning of the Summer, the two mermaids representing two halves coming together (Body and Soul) which I found it suits so well the spirit of the Mermaid Parade.
I just wish I was there!! Next year maybe...

SELFMADE TATTOO FLASH BOXING GIRL
~ SELF MADE ~
I've been wanting forever to paint a traditional boxer girl, ( I used to box a bit and I loved the outfit :))
I was lucky to get my hands on some Vallejo colours. They are almost impossible to find, and they are the best I have ever used by a mile.
The print is available at my Etsy shop:

COFFEE LABEL EDWIN COPA SIETE ESTRELLAS -BOLIVIA- FOR SMALL BATCH COFFEE COMPANY
I recently made this design for Small Batch Coffee Label. When they told me about the seven stars, I just couldn't say no :)
I thought it would be a good idea to merge the Bolivia coat of arms with the coffee beans and the stars.
Coffee and drawing is the best combination.
Yes, I really did enjoy doing this :)

~GIPSY MOON~
This one has been made on canvas panel with acrylic paint. I never tried this before and I have to say, the colours in the original are the most vibrant I have ever seen. But I did miss painting on cold pressed paper.

ABOUT ~FORGET ME NOT MERMAID~ AND COPYRIGHT
One afternoon I painted a mermaid. I posted it in my images, sent it to Black Market Art for it to be used in some t-shirts and prints over in US, and did not think anymore of it.
A while afterwards someone called me saying that they have seen this mermaid, with my name removed from the image and Sailor Jerry's name instead, on a phone cover. By curiosity I typed "Forget me not mermaid" and surprise! I found that it had been used in pendants, earrings, prints, doorknobs (!), hairclips, even in pottery...and funnily enough most of the times when it was credited is not my name on it but Sailor Jerry 's (which feels like an annoying compliment I guess)
I found a bit sad that people that steal images for profit wouldn't even bother in changing the name or the lettering but hey, maybe they cannot think that far ahead.
I know if you put an image on internet some folks are always going to steal/keep/print/etc. so next time you see one of my images with a watermark right on the face, don't judge me too hard. :)

ROCK OF ACES WOOD AND GOLD FOIL
A while ago I wanted to do something with gold foil. I still work nowadays with it, I love it!
This one was done in wood.
If you happen to be on the States you can buy a high quality print of this one at Moodswingsonthenet.

OLD TIME TATTOO FLASH
I do love old time looking flash, that is what got me to draw little mermaids and pin ups in the first place. Sailor Jerry is a big influence all right. These are some samples of originals and commissioned work.
Check this mermaid on a t-shirt design at Jackdawlanding.

A BIT OF A RECAP
Hey there! My name is Susana Alonso and this is where I will be posting my artwork old and new.
To make a long story short I have always had a thing for drawing and painting. Fairies and dolls when little (and not so little), Iron Maiden possible covers (I wished!) when a teenager, worked for 10 years tattooing, stop tattooing to train as a Graphic Designer, and then when my child was born I did some tattoo illustration and also graphic design.
When my child grew a little more I had to forget about grabbing a pencil and staring at a white paper to see what would come; my daughter was far more important plus I had to get a job.
So I have raised her on my own, and 7 years later she is still equally important, but I am starting to have a bit of time again to grab the pencil... and I have to say, I love that feeling :)
