That's How A Pumpkin Grows

Brian Vogan has a new CD "Little Songs" and a new music video for the catchy children's song "That's How A Pumpkin Grows". I had lots of fun illustrating and directing this animated piece created in team with the great people of FashionBuddha Studio.

You can check out more images HERE.

DAHRA Collaboration

“Play.Create.” is the fourth project and second exhibition of DAHRA (Designers Against Human Rights Abuse) created by the designer & artist Rishi Sodha. Basically the invitation was to customize a a Kid Robot ‘Munny’ doll, The premise is the project that 10 product designers, 10 graphic designers and 10 children will all customise these dolls on the theme of play and creativity for an exhibition and auction to show the inherent links we all share in creativity and how we are all equal in that respect despite our age. All money raised will go to Barnardo’s (a UK based children’s charity) as well as 10 children being treated to a day of inspiring workshops and fun art activities where they will customise their dolls.

The exhibition will be held in London in early November (location to be confirmed) And this is my custom Munny.

The Enamored Whale | Special limited edition 2009

It's been three years since I did an illustration named The Enamored Whale, that particular illustration means a lot to me cause practically marked the beginning of my illustrator career and still one of the most popular works I've ever done. So, in a way to celebrate these exciting years of an amazing journey creating art I made a stylized version of The Enamored Whale and brought it to you in a limited edition of signed beautiful letterpress prints. Available now on my ETSY shop by $20.

Print specifications:

• 8.5" X 11" Letterpress print, three colors (chocolate color has a metallic touch) on 100% recycled handmade paper.
• Soy based inks (VOC free) are hand-mixed and printed each by hand in a limited edition of 250. Hand signed and numbered by me.
• Carefully packaged and shipped in stay flat mailer, protected with print protector bag for long-term storage.








The prints were printed by the fine guys of Olivine Studio in Portland, here are some pictures of the process in the making of these beauties, I'm so pleased with the results! :D

TYE at Nucleus Gallery

As some of you guys know I did a contribution for the Terrible Yellow Eyes project and surprisingly my piece made it for the art show that Nucleus Gallery in California is curating along with Cory Godbey. When I received the official notification from the gallery and the invitation to do an extra piece, I couldn't resist the offer so I did it. Here are some pictures of my two paper-cut pieces included in the show this next September 19th till October the 6th.

More pictures can be seen on my Flickr.

Zappos Concept

Recently I was commissioned by M&C Saatchi to develop a few conceptual illustrations for a series of TV Spots for Zappos.com
The time was very short but I think they turned out well for a pitch concept.

Semana de la Publicidad en Cali

Se suponía que debí haber dado una plática en la Universidad de Cali en Colombia durante la semana del 10 al 14 de Agosto pero desafortunadamente durante mi viaje a Buenos Aires tuve algunas complicaciones migratorias y mi proceso tardó mucho más de lo normal, la embajada retuvo mi pasaporte por casi 15 días y me fue imposible asistir a dicho evento. Hoy es 15 de Agosto y todavía no cuento con mi pasaporte.

Quisiera por este medio ofrecer una disculpa a aquellas personas que me invitaron y a la gente interesada en asistir a mi plática durante el evento, este incidente desafortunadamente estuvo completamente fuera de mi control y mis planes de viaje se complicaron afectando otros proyectos que tengo en curso.

Espero tener de nuevo la oportunidad de viajar a Colombia pronto.

De antemano muchas gracias a todas las personas que han mostrado su interés y de nuevo, lo siento mucho :(

Muchas gracias!

If you are in Buenos Aires, Argentina by the weekend of August 1-2 don't miss this festival. I was kindly invited to give a conference about my work and so exited to share the stage with artists Victor Castillo from Chile, Nate Williams from USA and the Brazilian duo Alto Contraste among a bunch of great Argentinean Pop & Street Artists.

This is the second edition of this important event, last year they have Tim Biskup, Gary Basemen, Alexandre Orion, DGPH just to mention a few. So if you want to enjoy some pop-art, live music, skate & bike shows and live painting sessions come and join us!

Monster Characters

I was wasting my time just doodling and naming some funky characters, this may be the beginning of a big collection of Monsters trading-cards. Who knows?
