Illustration / Coco La Coquette
Coco La Coquette is Elisa Rodrigo’s alter ego — a cute Spanish girl who doesn’t want to grow up so she can keep her innocent, childhood perspective. Influenced by street art and Japanese culture, this talented young designer works with photographic backgrounds which form the scenarios for the sweet and tender Coquettes. Her inspiration comes from enchanted wooden houses, old music boxes and used wallpapers. On the other hand, she also mixes in thoughts of rainbows, bubblegum machines and 8-bit music. If you ever want to meet the skinny, sad Coco, invite her around for some milk, sushi, or chocolate and then take her to the sea. You might just discover the subtle blend of death and charm that swirls around inside Elisa’s head.

I’ve been waiting for a group like this. These New Puritans are balls in your face, 100 miles an hour, pure attack! A young British group that has most of the UK press in the palm of their skinny pale hands, they hint at a sonic mash of Bloc Party mixed with what White Rose Movement were supposed to be. What more could you want?

There are few more joys an artist has in life than coming across great resources for inspiration. Lately I’ve been studying typography, the meaning of words, and then something as simple as trying to find all the ‘7 letter words’ I can so that it might fit into my latest musings. Read more
