Angel M. Alvarez Illustration- Portfolio Reel 2020

             "I am a product of my own unique combination of influences throughout my life. The work that resonates with me as an artist is my fuel, and it is important to surround myself with this inspiration. We can only produce work to the level of quality that we have observed. Our mentors are the artists that we admire, and they left lessons for us in the work they produced. As artists, we must be lifelong learners, continuously evolving and searching for knowledge and inspiration in the world. " - Angel M. Alvarez- Excerpt from my MFA thesis. 

 

Alphabet Amigos Dual Language ABC Picture Book

Alphabet Amigos- Dual Language Children's Book Early Childhood Education. 

              I'm so happy to announce that after years of working and refining this book it's finally being published Fall 2020 by Vinal Publishing Inc. I was inspired to create this book for my son, who grew up speaking two languages.  The book is unique in that, not only is it bilingual, but all the words start with the same letter in both english and spanish. This is a great book for bilingual children and their families. It's also a great way to introduce the spanish language to kids. I tried to showcases the similarities between the two languages.

The book is about Armadillo the artist and his animal friends. All the characters in the book have interesting personalities and adventures. The book highlights all the words that start with the same letter in both languages.

The book can be purchased HERE with the official release being November 21, 2020.
