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!
