Giveaway winner June 09

July 3rd, 2009

Illustration by Koldo Barroso

You commented and voted so the most popular character from the Workshop in June is:
“Woonkee Di Woonkee”

And the winner of the Character Workshop’s Giveaway in May is…
Yelena Shabrova

Yelena will receive a watercolor handcolored & signed print, with a Certificate of Authenticity.

I want to thank to all the people who are participating in the Character Workshop, it’s amazing to be able to do this creative experiment with you!

This month I will be posting more about Woonkee and probably also a little more about Candela the dollmaker, since he’s been another very popular character during the last month. Don’t forget that a new giveaway starts again, so the most popular character of the month will be given away at the end of July!

And, of course… Happy 4th of July to everyone in the US!

Koldo, I got the print yesterday – love it (damn the crazy days lately, I am behind on everything)! But note that a day later I am as excited about having my very own Woonkee Di Woonkee as I was when I just opened the envelope Just so that everyone knows, that image at the top of the page does not do it justice. Thank you, Koldo!

I’m so glad, Yelena! Wonkee is glad to be with you too, I know it by the way he waves his tail!

Testimonials

Through Koldo Barroso’s art we see magical characters and are drawn into an enchanted world. His storytelling captures your imagination and heart as he weaves life into each of his drawings. I am in awe of his incredible talent and passion for not only his work but for life.

Erin Hammill

Koldo Barroso is a brilliant and very original artist. His uniquely beautiful style of illustration is inspirational. You can feel the joy and fun that runs through all of his work.
We were blessed to have him do the illustration and cover design for our album "Life Stories" and couldn't have been more delighted. I feel his energy and wonderful artwork are as much a part of the album as the music itself, it so captured the mood and meaning of the project.

"I received the package!!! Your talent is awesome! Thank you so much I love them. I have already framed them and have put in a place where my gaze will fall upon them frequently. I’m sure that everyone that visits my studio will also feel the Magical Radiance of your Work. I feel so lucky. I feel like I own a museum piece!

"It is pure joy to enter the imagination of artist & writer, Koldo Barroso. His is a world of delightfully whimsical and bizarre characters brought to life with sensitivity, skill and humour.

This is creativity at its very best - inventive and poetical, its charm simply magnified upon repeated viewing.
Truly magical."

Lorell Lehman

How delightful. Thank you for the all the care and skill you have put into this illustration. I was touched and intrigued by your particular interpretation of "C'est La Vie" to see how you had taken the piece beyond its original form of a study in melancholy.
