Runner's World Magazine Illustration

Some weeks ago I was commissioned by Runner's World Magazine to create the cover illustration for their Fall Shoe Guide. The only three rules to create the image:

1) Include a Runner Shoe (not brand specific but definitely recognizable as a running shoe).
2) A descent-sized open area to accommodate the title and info.
3) Reference the issue's season (Fall). So after presenting a few sketch-ideas this is the final result, I'm very pleased with how came out printed!

Mexico | Imaginantes Series

So, continuing with the Mexico's Bicentennial commemorations here is an animation piece I helped out to illustrate. The piece is part of the project Imaginantes (Imaginarians), a cultural TV video segments produced by Televisa to tell short animated stories about influential people in Mexico's history, arts and literature. This particular segment is dedicated to Sergéi Eisenstein, a Russian filmmaker who produced some key projects for Mexico's film history during the first years of the 30's decade.

" Sergei Esenstein. Mexican times: The Cinema's Eye
The Russian filmmaker imagined from his childhood a placed called Mexico, this dream became an obsession. When finally got in and captured trough his camera the textures of this unknown land, his vision was so intense that filtered deeply in Mexican history imagination."



Here, some art assets I produced for the animated short:

Mexico's Bicentennial Illustrations

Some time ago I was commissioned by enVIVA Magazine to create a spread illustration for an article commemorating the year of Mexico's Bicentennial. Still waiting for my courtesy copy, probably will never get it since I made the illustrations almost one year ago... Hope you like them! ...and VIVA MEXICO of course!!!

The G3 Show

I just finished my three pieces for the 3G show coming up at 1988 Gallery in Los Angeles. The show features the artwork of many artists inspired by three movies that defined one generation. Ghostbusters, The Goonies & Gremlins.

The opening night wil take place the friday, September 3rd from 7-10 PM
The show will run till September 22nd. So hopefully some of you will be able to attend.

I'm so happy to be part of the show specially cause I recently showed these three movies almost in a row to my 6 years old boy, which BTW he loved them (of course) and later on I received an invitation to participate on this show :) ...Was that a premonition?

The show is curated by The Autumn Society.

Happy Coincidences...

The other day I saw a beautiful piece called “Spaceman Stu” a McDonalds TV commercial created by the studio Kompost for Leo Burnett.

I love so much the whole piece, I think is an amazing work! And I remember the very first time I saw it, it felt very familiar to me. Now that I watched it closer I found out why is so familiar. There are a few similitudes of my work and I wonder if the people involved in the art referenced to it, which would be phenomenal or is just a happy coincidence?

JWT's GAPA/BS World Aids Day Safe Sex Campaign

"In order to raise awareness on the global HIV/AIDS pandemic, the World Health Organization established World Aids Day in 1988. Observed on December 1st, it is a chance for organizations and individuals to “demonstrate international solidarity in the face of the pandemic.” According to 2008 data from the United Nations, approximately 33 million people around the world are living with HIV.

In Latin America, JWT worked with GAPA/BS (Grupo de Apoio à Prevenção à AIDS da Baixada Santista) on a campaign with the message “Be pure. Safe sex is never wrong.” GAPA/BS is a philanthropic foundation that hopes the campaign will change the perception of purity – that to remain pure, all it takes is protection. Several artists volunteered their talent for the project, creating art for T-shirts, print media, and animation."

I'm very glad to be part of this selected group!!!
