Colorain | Oh No! Doom (Chicago)

ColoRain in Chicago!

Nowadays everything seems to go by so fast and we can hardly stop for a moment in our rushed way of living to enjoy the beauty of simple things, those simple things that make this world unique and amazing. Among all those simple things that we can hardly notice in a daily basis, some people find rain as a kind of obstacle for happiness, they look forward with ager for the sunny and dry days. A rainy day is frequently associated with a gray, sad, hopeless and lazy mood but the true is that we owe rain a big part of our life and beauty, at the end and after a simple thought we can realize that without it we just can't enjoy all the color around us, neither those beautiful dry and sunny days.

Rain bring us color, life, happiness and for some people like me, hope and glee. Rain has a color, the color of life and joy.

ColoRain an art show exploring those colored rain drops all over spred in my current work. If you are in Chicago the weekend of July 17-18 please come by and say hi! The show is taking place in the store-gallery Oh No! Doom.

Sneak peek of the new work:

Kinect Adventures!

Okay, this might not be seen as the rest of my artwork but I have to admit I'm very proud with all the hard work I've been invested on this project. About 7 months ago I was kindly invited by someone in Xbox to come over to the Puget Sound area and collaborate in the production of one of the very first titles for the upcoming video-game technology known as Natal Project, today unveiled at E3 as KINECT. The new video-game system that is going to use your body to control the game and interface and I have to say is pretty cool and even magical the first time you play it!

This is the trailer debut of our game:


I'm not going to reveal yet what's my role on the production of this game, maybe some of you can perceive it there, maybe not.

Thanks to all the amazing and talented people who I work with on this great project and their incredible patience to deal with my very limited experience in the industry.

Rock Marí | Opening Credits

My illustrations all over Mexico City!!! :)
This is the opening credits animation for the Mexican feature movie Rock Marí. I was commissioned by the team of Maribel Martinez in Mexico to collaborate in the creation of diverse illustrations compelling the personality of this little musician girl (Rock Marí) who likes to travel and wants to be a rock-star. They had these aerial scenes of Mexico City and the idea was to populate all kind of "girly" illustrations giving life to the buildings during the initial credits. The work was done in a super short time, last minute job! At the end everything turned out good.

Thanks to Gabriela Badillo, Diego Huacuja and some other animators (I don't have all the credits) who made the great 2D/3D compositing, animation and motion tracking work on this piece.

Here are the illustrations I provided and the final animation!
