Los demonios y ángeles activos de la vida diaria son representados con simplicidad y una sutil belleza que muestra el lado realista de las cosas. Las ilustraciones y pinturas de la artista norteamericana Amanda Oleander se colocan fuera de foco, en los momentos solitarios, cuando uno deja salir a jugar la cara que normalmente el público no puede ver tras el escenario de la vida.

Drawing 44/100 of the drawing a day for 100 days challenge. This is inspired by those intimate moments before bed when your partner is asleep and you stare at them sleeping so peacefully and think to yourself how thankful you are to have them in your life and stare at them smiling until you fall asleep too. 😩😍 (I love you @joeyrudman ) #aboutlastnight .
.
side note- I have so much fun drawing everyday, one of the things I love about these drawings is that I get to design furniture and apparel and just everything. I used to be obsessed with the game The Sims and one of my favorite parts (besides playing “god”) was designing the house and the furniture. The only thing is that I had a limitation of furniture and items, now I draw my own world on a piece of paper everyday so the options are limitless and creating items that only exist in my mind and seeing them come to life really excites me. I enjoyed inventing the headboard in this piece. Happy Friday!

Esto está inspirado en esos momentos íntimos antes de acostarse cuando tu pareja está dormida y los miras durmiendo tan pacíficamente y piensas cuánto agradecido estás por tenerlos en tu vida y mirarlos sonriendo hasta que te duermas también.

Drawing 42/100 of the drawing a day for 100 days challenge. Sometimes I get hangry. I have two levels of hangry. 1. When I haven’t eaten much for a long period of time and 2. When I save a leftover to eat later and come to find someone else ate it. // 2. Hasn’t happened since I was living with my parents, one of my sisters would eat my leftovers and it drove me nuts.

Tengo dos niveles de hambre. 1. Cuando no he comido mucho durante un período largo y 2. Cuando guardo comida para comer más tarde y voy a buscar y alguien más, se lo comío. // 2. No ha sucedido desde que vivía con mis padres, una de mis hermanas se comía mis sobras y me volvía loca.

Leer a tu pareja, literalmente, como un libro; experimentar decepción por una planta muerta; descubrir un pelo en un lugar que no te encanta del todo; dejar salir a jugar el niño interno; tener una crisis por la tontería más grande del mundo, no hay una situación que se le escape a las manos e imaginación de Oleander, y su retrato es fidedigno pero sin la necesidad de buscar ser realista.

Realista en motivos, fantástica en representaciones, vívida en situaciones y graciosa en ocasiones, la obra de Oleander permite dar un vistazo a imágenes congeladas de lo que la mayoría de personas anhelan, odian y valoran de los momentos de soledad y ocio.

Drawing 38/100 of the drawing a day for 100 days challenge. My plants always die 😩😩😩 I love having plants but I can’t seem to keep them alive especially orchids. (I’m exaggerating a bit, not all of our plants die, our snake plants and ZZ plants are doing great) if you are having trouble keeping your plants alive try getting snake and ZZ plants! 🌱 —————————————————————————
Mis plantas siempre mueren 😩😩😩 Me encanta tener plantas, pero parece que no puedo mantenerlas con vida, especialmente las orquídeas.

This is inspired by that time of the month I randomly cry about something so I rush over to my birth control pack to see if I’m “really” sad or it’s just hormones and it’s that time of the month. It’s different for everyone but for me it’s the week before my period. The most ridiculous cry was when I was making homemade black bean burger patties and when I went to flip it the patty broke. @joeyrudman quickly rushed over and was like “It’s okay! It’s great! I want that one!” And then I cried more because he’s so sweet. 😂 I quickly realized it was that time of the month where it’s just hormones and I just had to roll with it and then laugh about it. Can we please share ridiculous reasons we have all cried for stories?? .

Esto está inspirado en ese momento del mes en el que lloro al azar por algo, así que corro hacia mi paquete de control de la natalidad para ver si estoy "realmente" triste o solo son hormonas y es esa época del mes. Es diferente para todos, pero para mí es la semana antes de mi período. El llanto más ridículo fue cuando estaba haciendo hamburguesas caseras de hamburguesas negras y cuando fui a darle la vuelta, la hamburguesa se rompió. @joeyrudman rápidamente se apresuró y dijo "¡Está bien! ¡Es genial! ¡Quiero ese! "Y luego lloré más porque es muy dulce. 😂 Rápidamente me di cuenta de que era esa época del mes en la que solo son hormonas y solo tuve que seguir adelante y luego reírme al respecto. ¿Podemos compartir razones ridículas por las que todos hemos llorado por historias? .

This is inspired by getting home and letting our inner kids come out together with @joeyrudman and I. Sometimes it feels like we are just two kids playing house. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

As I’ve mentioned before I’m enthralled by the way people behave behind closed doors. Intimate moments we never get to see. Those are moments that can’t really be documented because if they were it would alter the way the person behaved, so I draw them.

Como mencioné antes, estoy cautivado por la forma en que las personas se comportan a puerta cerrada. Momentos íntimos que nunca llegamos a ver. Esos son momentos que realmente no se pueden documentar, porque si lo fueran alteraría la forma en que la persona se comporta, así que los dibujo.

I am an open book. This is inspired by getting to know someone and being completely vulnerable and opening your life to them completely, letting them into every corner of yourself and what you have experienced until you've met them.

Drawing 88/100 of the drawing a day for 100 days challenge. When you really feel like your job is sucking the life out of you, but you feel stuck because it's how you make money so you try to fill that void with your favorite childhood treats. /// This is inspired by a phone call I had this morning. I spoke to someone very close to me that is not in a job she got her degree in and she really doesn't like it. To anyone that is going through that I want to just say, this is temporary. You aren't stuck. Your future depends on the actions you take today. You are in control of your life, don't ever forget that. --I've been there, right after graduation and completing a 3 month internship in LA I was working three jobs, (managing an Italian boutique, canvassing for @greenpeace and selling perfume at @macys on the weekend.) I always knew this was temporary.. every night I would send out my resume and apply apply apply. I kept working on my art. In one year I became a full time artist! You have to believe it will happen, envision yourself in your ideal job and it will manifest as long as you put the work in. A couple books that really helped with getting my mindset right were The Secret and The Seven Minute Solution. I hope they help you too. --(Shout out to @skdonutsla for gifting me with 6 delicious donuts one time when I was in between jobs that was such a highlight to my week. )-- I would like to know how you overcame leaving a shitty job and how it has changed your life?! Your story can inspire the person that needs it. 💕❤️-- putting the time lapse of this drawing on my story now. .

This piece is about those manipulative, sneaky people we sometimes let into our business, lives, homes or even have relationships with them. If anybody is making you feel guilty or influencing you into doing something that you are hesitant about, listen to your gut and not them. If the people that love you the most are not a big fan of this person that’s probably for a good reason. Some people are leeches and they don’t even mean to be that’s just how they are. Be careful. ✋🏻
