Advanced Photoshop Interview

Just got the chance to see published my interview in the British magazine Advanced Photoshop! : D

Slingshot Kite Boards

I really love to see my work in products and recently I collaborated with the brand Slingshot to create a few original designs for their great hand-made Kite Boards. Unfortunately nobody will get to use them because my designs didn't make it in the production, apparently the artwork doesn't fit with the brand's audience :-( But I really enjoyed making these.

The good news: I have something else to share with you!



By the way, this is really a cool Sport:

Cam & Maggie

I was commissioned by the creative folks of Fashion Buddha with base in Portland to create some characters for a video series featuring hand-crafted puppets Cam, Maggie, and their dog Blue. Here some images of the making of process.

Nikita Clothing

The Iceland based clothing brand Nikita just launched it's Summer collection featuring one design I was commissioned to do while ago and it comes in diverse girly colors for hoodies and tees.

Here you can see the Hoodies.
And here the T-Shirts.

Gelaskins VS Happy Rain

I'm so glad to announce that one of my recent pieces "Happy Rain" is now part of the great Gelaskin products family.
Check it out and let me know if you like it as much I do :-)

Digital Artist Cover

One of my pieces was selected to be featured in the British magazine Digital Artist.
What a nice surprise when I saw it this morning in the book store I use to go! :)

The Tortoise's Travels

The napkin doodle has found it's way to end as my latest limited edition Giclée Print.

The idea for this came up the other day while I was playing with my kids and one of them saw a turtle shaped cloud above in the sky and that follows a long story about the tiny things this turtle was doing in his cloudy life up there... she has a house, she eats an apple, she plays volley ball, enjoy the sun and every once in a while visits her friends and family houses, during the time my son was talking about all the things this turtle enjoyed to do we noticed the turtle shaped cloud was going away pushed by the wind so I asked my son – If the turtle is forced to move out, what do you think she would like to take with her? – He responded, well, the most important things for her are obviously her family and friends so probably will take their entire houses with her...

So, I made this sketch first based in our turtle conversation :)



And the final piece just arrived!
This is a signed and hand-numbered 100 Limited Edition Giclee Print.
Size: 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cm) on 100% cotton rag, archival acid free base, fine art paper.

New collaborative project coming up...

The Gruffalo

GolpeAvisa, a great design & illustration studio with base in Mexico is conducting and art-related initiative every Friday to invite the Mexican Illustrators community to participate in a creative exercise, they have one guest who come up with a theme every week and people will collaborate creating a piece on that theme. I received an invitation last week and happened that I was looking who were nominated this year in the Oscars for best animated short and one of them is this short for the BBC based on 1999 Children's Book The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

So that was my theme and this is my piece:



Thanks to Cesar Moreno and Carlos Lerma for the invitation!

She & He

I was invited to collaborate with the mexican independent magazine PICNIC with a pair of spread illustrations. The entry and the exit as they called them for the issue entitled "Seducers". So I decided to draw my own interpretation of a "sexy" woman and a "sexy" man :) This time I tried to explore a bit more stylized treatment in my shapes and I liked it so far!
