Hi guys,
 
Happy December 1st!  This month marks a full TWO YEARS that I’ve been creating this free calendar for you, and I can’t believe it’s been this long!  I’m so happy to know that you’re still enjoying my calendar, and I’m excited to continue the tradition in 2020. 
 
If you’ve been around for a while, you know that December is my favorite month of the year, not only because of Christmas, but also because it’s my birthday on December 27 (which I gave a slight nod to with the dark purple on the calendar for that date lol). 
 
And I’m already getting in the mood for Christmas with twinkling lights, holiday music and making some Christmas ornaments this year.  This is the perfect time of year for some fun and cozy DYIs while sipping on hot cocoa and having a fun holiday movie like ‘Elf’ or ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ playing in the background.
 
I’m also excited to paint at some amazing holiday live fashion illustration events that are coming up this month, which I’ll be sharing with you on Instagram @thecristinatudor
 
And tomorrow stay tuned for a special gift coming your way to celebrate the start of the holiday season.  All I can tell you right now is that it’s gonna be good ;) Subscribe today to get the full scoop!
 
In the meantime, subscribe on my website at cristinatudor.com to enjoy this free calendar, and December’s Presents Girl will be on her way to your inbox, ready for a Christmas party or two in her mini dress and heels.  I’ll be sending her your way along with all my best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday season filled with joy and all your loved ones.
 
As always, make sure you tag me in your photos of the calendar on Instagram @thecristinatudor and use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar so I can find them :)  I’d love to share them on my IG!
 
Enjoy your December calendar!

With Halloween just behind is, it’s time for sweater weather all over again. Leopard Girl is ready for a cozy November with her cold shoulder leopard print sweater inspired by yummy and warm fall colors as she’s getting ready for Thanksgiving at the end of the month.
 
As always, make sure you tag me in your photos of the calendar on Instagram @thecristinatudor and use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar so I can find them :)  I’d love to share them on my IG!
 
Enjoy your November calendar, and happy (early) Thanksgiving!

In the past 3 weeks, I had the incredible honor to paint live bespoke fashion illustrations at two Salvatore Ferragamo boutiques to celebrate the launch of the new Ferragamo AW19 Women and Men's Collections: at Beverly Center in Beverly Hills and at South Coast Plaza in Orange County 🎨  Guests at the exclusive events received bespoke illustrations to enhance their purchase.

To see the full experience at both events, including behind-the-scenes videos of how I painted my illustrations, visit the Salvatore Ferragamo live event page on my website at cristinatudor.com  

Thank you for having me and for the very warm welcome @ferragamo!  I had an amazing time painting the lovely customers in the newest collections and meeting everyone! I am simply thrilled to have been a part of these events! I’m still floating on air, feeling so thankful and grateful to be able to do what I love in such incredible company 🖌

Hi guys,
 
Halloween is almost here, it’s only a month away!  Woohoo!  And I’m totally getting in the mood for fun costumes and trick or treating.  So it’s no surprise that this year I’m once again doing a Halloween themed October calendar – my second one so far, as I’m getting close to the end of a full second year of offering you this free printable calendar every month … can you believe it??  Almost 2 full years of creating a brand new, fresh calendar each month, I’m so excited about this cool milestone :)
 
So which girl is this October bringing you, you ask?  Why, Witch Girl, of course, lol.  Ok, cheesy, I know, but couldn’t be helped ;)
 
As always, make sure you tag me in your photos of Witch Girl on Instagram @thecristinatudor use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar so I can find them :)  I’d love to share them on my IG!
 
Have a great October, and a happy (super early) Halloween!

A short while ago I painted this custom illustration, a thoughtful gift from a loving husband Chris @carhartdrums to his beautiful wife Jessica @giorjess from their fave wedding photo 💍 Aren’t they just so sweet? 💞

Jessica loved her husband's suprise gift, and they've already framed it!  Now, every time they look at my painting, they remember their special wedding day and the love that brought them together!

If you'd like a custom illustration just like Chris and Jessica's, send me an email at hello@cristinatudor.com, I would love to paint one for you or your loved one! 🎨

Hi guys,

I'm super excited to announce that my Gumball Art Prints are back in my shop at cristina-tudor-art.myshopify.com

These prints were inspired by a birthday present I designed for my friend Mimi of Mimi G. Style earlier this year: I wanted to give her something fun, colorful and unique that reflected her love of sewing and fabric.  So I painted the Fabric Addict artwork for her, and she loved it so much, we both thought it would be a fun print to add to my shop so that all you guys can snag a copy!

Then I created two more prints, DYI Addict and Fashion Queen cuz let's face it, if you're a fabric addict like Mimi and I are, chances are you're definitely very much addicted to all things DYI and a fashion queen to boot, too!  And so the collection of colorful Gumball Art Prints was born!

Each print comes in two colorways, so make sure you pick the color you want from the pull-down menu in the print listing before adding it to your cart.

Visit my shop at Cristina Tudor Shop to see the full collection and tell me: which one's your fave?

xoxo,
Cristina

ps: check out the behind-the-scenes video below to see how I painted them :)

Hi guys,

I’m so thrilled to share with you that last Thursday I had the pleasure and honor of partnering with Badgley Mischka and Bloomingdale’s to paint live shoe illustrations of the newest Badgley Mischka shoe collection at Beverly Center in Beverly Hills. Bloomies customers received a complimentary illustration with a Badgley Mischka shoe purchase, giving me the chance to illustrate live some seriously stunning shoes! This collection is an absolute dream! The blush pinks, the nudes, the gold and silver sparkles, it was all perfection! ✨ You can see all the shoes I painted and the fun event vibe right HERE.

Meeting Mark Badgley and James Mischka was definitely the highlight of my night! They are both not only insanely talented, but also incredibly gracious and kind people. I was delighted to meet them and to paint from such beautiful inspiration: their shoes are real works of art! Thank you for allowing me to bring my own artist vision with my paints and brushes to your glamorous designs, Badgley Mischka! 🎨

This was my first partnership with Bloomingdale’s, and I could not be happier with my entire experience! A huge thank you to Hallie and the entire Bloomies team, everyone was so thoughtful, considerate and caring, and I had a blast being part of this event 🙏 I truly felt like I was spending time with dear old friends!

Last, but not least, thank you Women About Town @wat_la and Marissa for being such an awesome group to connect LA women, thanks Ce Ce @visionquestshoes for coming and always for your support, and thanks to all the lovely ladies who attended the event - it was so nice to meet you all, and I loved painting your new shoes, including @samanthaheartsays @alana_pietrzak @thuyndiep and @laneydarling, a lovely bride-to-be who bought her stunning Badgley Mischka wedding shoes that night 👠

Thank you so much for having me, Badgley Mischka and Bloomingdale’s, I’m incredibly grateful! I had so much fun, and it was an absolute pleasure to paint live at your event!  Looking forward to our next collaboration 💖✨

Hey guys

How come it’s June, yet it’s still so cold here in Los Angeles?  Haven’t we heard it’s summer yet? ;) Seriously, it’s been raining a lot and it’s been so cold, I just wanna vege. But instead I painted your June calendar, willing summer and beach weather to get here already with my happy Pineapple Girl! 
 
Have you seen my very first IG LIVE PAINTING PARTY on Instagram @thecristinatudor?  If you haven’t, I painted this very calendar with everyone who showed up, and I was very happy to include everyone in the process.  I literally started the calendar with a blank piece of paper, a couple of inspiration images, and my brushes and paints.  I sketched a rough outline, painted the illustration with watercolors, talked everyone through my entire process, and in about an hour, we had this calendar ready to go! 
 
If you missed out, or you didn’t get my calendar, no worries: I will do another one soon, but make sure to subscribe to my newsletter at cristinatudor.com to be the first to know when I do another live painting party and to get this calendar and future ones directly in your inbox!
 
In the meantime, if you want a supa cool new phone case, head over to my shop at cristina-tudor-art.myshopify.com and check out all the new cases I added, with lots of my illustrations. Let me know which ones are your faves, ok?  I'd love to know what you like so I can bring you just the kind of illustrations you love!

I hope you like your new calendar this month, and if you do, please let me know.  I would love to see photos of your printed calendar (or your phone cases or T-shirts!) and to feature them on my IG account, so tag me @thecristinatudor in your pics and use the hashtag #ctudorcalendar so I can find them :)

And if you’d like to brighten up someone’s day, please share my website cristinatudor.com with them so they can sign up for my calendar, too - the minute they sign up, they get the current month's calendar immediately in their inbox.

Enjoy Pineapple Girl, and have a great early summer!
