SuiCycle

A look at what goes in, what goes out, and how everything we swallow gives the environment a case of indigestion. SuiCycle is a lively, multi-textured animated short with a darkly comic style at odds with the subject matter, Suicycle—intended to play as a never-ending loop— The piece was created specifically for the 2007 DesignPolitics exhibition in Santiago, Chile: a forum for "visual ideologies" comprised of the best issue-driven design work from around the globe.

All the illustrations were done as animated mask shapes in After Effects.

Revista Complot

60 Unite for Children

I just got my copy, the book is great and I'm so honored to share pages with very talented designers and illustrators. The concept behind this book published by APAG editions in France was celebrate the 60th anniversary of UNICEF inviting 60 illustrators all around the globe to come up with a piece related to childhood and a quote. Above you can see how the cover book looks and my participation for it.

Paper Pushers

I was invited to be part of this show at 1988 Gallery in San Francisco, the theme is open but all the works are in paper. I did five new pieces from a series called "Maquinaria Interna" all in coffee and ink on 7X10" paper. Inspired in part by the day of the dead, yes the mexican celebration.

Monster

16"X20" Acrylic on Canvas

This is a piece I created as part of a benefit music tour organized by the musician Barbara Trentalange. She invited several artists to create a piece inspired by one song of the album, mine was the titled "Monster". The piece will be film and projected behind the performance on the stage and will be auctioned off at the end of the tour to donate part of the sales helping Powerful Voices, an organization that helps at-risk teenage girls.
