Cintiq Sketch

I've been practicing to sketch using a Cintiq and this is a character I just did with it from scratch, at the beginning my drawing wasn't really natural but with a little practice has become practically a 1:1 translation from the paper sketching and perhaps even better because I can add color and shadings really quick or go back anytime with the magical Undo.

The Tortoise's Travels

The napkin doodle has found it's way to end as my latest limited edition Giclée Print.

The idea for this came up the other day while I was playing with my kids and one of them saw a turtle shaped cloud above in the sky and that follows a long story about the tiny things this turtle was doing in his cloudy life up there... she has a house, she eats an apple, she plays volley ball, enjoy the sun and every once in a while visits her friends and family houses, during the time my son was talking about all the things this turtle enjoyed to do we noticed the turtle shaped cloud was going away pushed by the wind so I asked my son – If the turtle is forced to move out, what do you think she would like to take with her? – He responded, well, the most important things for her are obviously her family and friends so probably will take their entire houses with her...

So, I made this sketch first based in our turtle conversation :)

This is a signed and hand-numbered 100 Limited Edition Giclee Print.

The complete piece for the show Curiouser & Curiouser at Gallery Nucleus inspired by Lewis Carroll's ‘Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.

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.

The Enamored Owl

Celebrating two years since I did a piece called "The Enamored Whale" which by the way has become in one of the more popular pieces in my portfolio now I have done a new piece inspired by that particular one, and probably the second of enamored creatures series. If you want to drop ideas n my brain what creature you guys would like to see in the future?
I really hope you like it!

Cree en el Niño

Recently I was contacted by an advertising agency in Madrid, Spain named Sra. Rushmore, they commissioned me to create an image to compete for a lottery campaign of Spain. This campaign is focused in the children, not sure how this works and if is legal in Spain for the kids to play lottery but the main idea was based in trust in your kids to choose the numbers, the image shows a kid happy to introduce the monster that lives in his closet, this is the proof! You can trust in what he say...
