Hi i'm not dead. yet.
i'm enjoing the summer also doing some comic coloring work.
lately i've started to feeling more motivated to do things on my own even if they don't have immediate financial success, than working for others, i still have bills to pay but that is another matter.

also i'm focusing more into calligraphy, lettering etc. than drawing is pretty fun, and helps to think more in a concept than a execution. i'm still a noob at this, i need to practice more.

Blackletter + Script practice

Paracaidistas = Airborne Forces, but also is a term to party crashers in chile.

Holaaaa

here's some new Art to show

My illustration of the novel by Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude, for the wonderful website Picture Book Report: a group of illustrators choose a book each one and create original art about them. I was accepted as a guest artist and do one image:

---

Mi ilustracion de la novela de Gabriel García Márquez, Cien Años de Soledad, para la página Picture Book Report: Un grupo de ilustradores eligen un libro cada uno y crean arte original para ellos. Fui aceptado como artista invitado para realizar sólo una imagen:

Some process, my main focus this time was do a scene with various elements, i usually tend to do simple compositions. The book have many wonderful things to illustrate but i choose this scene, in a way representing the Buendia family  surrounded by many different things, but still being more representational than metaphorical (i could include objects form other parts of the book) 

In conclusion, this is a illustration of a certain scene, not for the entire book.

---

Proceso: mi objetivo principal fue ilustrar una escena con varios elementos, usualmente hago composiciones mas austeras. El libro tiene muchas partes maravillosas e "illustrables" pero elegi esta escena, que de una manera representa a los Buendía, envueltos en un sinúmero de cosas, aun asi esta escena es mas "representacional" que metafórica (podria haber incluido objetos de otras partes del libro.)

En conclusion, esta es una ilustracion de cierto pasaje, no del libro por completo.

^ graphite sketeches / bocetos en grafito

hand painted sign / letrero hecho a mano

that's all folks~

I've never been interested in cars, but in my opinion this is something that any artist should be able to draw.
this is my first try on cars. they are very small sketches (under 2 inches) for each one.
i started drawing normal models but ended with famous cars from films and TV. now i like cars a bit more!

the first one to name every car on this image, wins a prize!. send me a mail, post here or pm me on twitter!

Hello to the few people who read my blog. Here in Chile we had a great earthquake who destroyed many buildings , took various lives and left many people without a house. Lucky for me, i didn't had any kind of loss, but the earthquake scared the shit of me. Hope everything will get better, specially at the south of my country

Hola a los pocos que leen mi blog, acá en chile ocurrio un gran terremoto, que destruyó muchos edificios, tuvo algunas víctimas y dejo a mucha gente sin hogar Afortunadamente para mi, no tuve perdida de ningun tipo, el terremoto me asusto mas que la cresta eso si. Ojalá todo se arregle, especialmente al sur de mi pais.
