Exploration of Fairy Tales through typography
I have always been intrigued with Fairy Tales. Originally meant for adults, I explored the sub textual layers of these stories through their symbols: lust, greed, vanity, and voyeurism. My scenic representations paint the internal conflict and advice found in these adventures that get their moral message across.
The Little Mermaid
Little Red Cap (Little Red Riding Hood)
Jack and the Beanstalk

Scribble Brush Tutorial from my Adobe MAX presentation
A section from my Adobe Max session "The Art of Sesame Street"can now be found on my website dianaleto.com.
Just in case you are busy (much like me!) and don't have time to watch the hour long session. It is a segment that describes how Sesame Workshop created their new style "Scribble" using the Scribble and Blob brush. Enjoy!

Sesame Street at Adobe Max!
Recently I presented, spoke, and collaborated with Mark Magner on two presentations at Adobe Max. It was an amazing time and the Sesame Team got rave reviews!
This is Mark Magner on stage at the Adobe MAX 2011 keynote doing a demo of new Adobe software on a Samsung tablet on stage in front of 6000 people! at the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE.
Check out his amazing Rock Star presentation!

This is a tad bit longer but it's a fun sneak peek behind the scenes at Sesame Street!

'Cause she is soooo Klass!

I sta
rted with this rough sketch that eventually became a final black and white illustration with Rachel's catch phrase. (Or at least it's her catch phrase in my mind!)

Live Every Week Like Shark Week!
Sharks both scare and fascinate me. So, of course, I started working on some doodles. I really like where some of my sketches where going but enjoyed the funny cartoon looking one best.
I took my little sketch and cleaned it up into this funny looking fella!
As I started creating this, I got a little silly as well. And as the 30 rock quote goes, "Live everyday like Shark Week!".

Adventure is out there!
In honor of a friend taking some time to travel, I have created this illustration of her.
Bon voyage Katie! Adventure is out there!
I recently created some additional elements to this piece. I created some stickers that say 'Katie was here'.
I then created an old-fashioned sepia image of my previous illustration and plopped the sticker on! I have to say creating this was a lot of fun! Hope everyone enjoys the illustrations as much as I did creating them!
