The Happy Gorilla

This is a small piece I did for my art show, not sure why I kind of have some obsession drawing gorillas in a peaceful situations, maybe I enjoy show the contrast between strongness and fragility together... or maybe I'm over thinking and I draw him just because... not sure. Anyway this is another piece using a new cartoony gorilla.

Tohbee is a little bee-character I did inspired in one of many great stories of a good friend of mine who is a writer and musician, Dale Basye. This piece is acrylic on paper. I like a lot the effect of painting with acrylics on grey tones, probably I'm going to use this technique often.

Minis

When I saw these little frames (4"X5") I couldn't resist purchase them. Now I'm doing special mini-pieces (2.5" X 3.5" Ink & coffee on paper) to fit in these small golden frames, I like they look as those old and kitsch vintage frames for classic paintings but miniatures. This is the first one! I hope create a bunch more for selling.
