ALVARO IN THE HOUSE!

I am really excited about my new project! He's an old, dear friend, Alvaro the renown fashion illustrator/ painter. We have been talking about working together for months and we are finally working together, its so wonderful! I have always loved his work and his new stuff is lovely. Its soft and flowing and modern! Alvaro has been doing what he does best for most of his life and his artwork has been seen by everyone! I have been looking at all of his work over his career and i have to say i am more than proud to say he is my friend! the VIBE cover and the VANITY FAIR covers are simply amazing! the drawings of all his super model friends are wonderful! I was just reminded of how and when i met Alvaro, it was through one of my best friends Joyce Yuille who was working with him at a department store in the city and she told him that she had a friend that went to F.I.T. as well. We were at a show and i was back stage and Alvaro was there everyone was talking and some one said my name and Alvaro turned around and asked ,with this big handsome smile " are you darrin, joyces friend ?!" and the rest is history, we have been friends ever since and that was way back in 1980 OMG! I think i was about 8yrs old then( i wish) i again am glad to be working with such a talent who happens to be a friend as well!
