Stop Blowing the Dande-lions

Based on a poem I wrote a month ago. I will keep the poem private except for this part:
"debes recordar que son unos dientes y del animal más hermoso en esta tierra."

JA JA: The Dream

Twitter post:

QuinTor: "I dreamed with kites taking over a city sky, these kites where big letters: Ja Ja"

28 Oct.

This dream was beautiful. So beautiful that got stuck in my head all day with its yellow creamy skies, dirty buildings and uneven silhouette that resembled a little like Cali and those blue kites made of funky fonts going up slowly in the sky. "Ja Ja" kites; was that a laugh or a smile? I felt a rush of happiness and serenity while dreaming this.
Three hours after waking up I got awesome news and I decided to draw it. Maybe I'll put it in a big canvas later. 

Poster design

Schoolwork in Poster design class. I had fun doing these. The yellow one was inspired by my sister.

Still Quieten

I wanted to create a new portrait series continuing the tradition I started in 2008 with the series called "Despite"

This is the most personal work I've ever created this year. Somehow, all the people here have been influential in my life. Each person in these portraits I've loved or still love with all my heart. There's some people I stopped drawing due to lack of touch or lost of feelings ( not including Montaña ). Like I said, it's very personal.
I enjoyed the time I drew each one.


Total of 15 people, 23 sketches and 11 finals.These are the 11 finals.

I have to make a side note here.
I've been drawing Nattie Gone since 2005 and I find a special interest in the images I make of this character. I made two Nattie Gones the same week and both are so different. I love both, but the strokes and colors are different and it seriously made me think:

How is my stroke?
Is it fluid? organized? sketchy?
How are my colors?
strong? contrast?
Should I even worry about this?
I thinking about it because the consistency here is way off.

By the way... Am I the only one that find this amusing? I love to do this! acitvate all the anchor points :)

New Animation (screen capture)

6pm “Jugos Sin Azucar”

El atardecer simbolizaba el comienzo de mi final del día. Los ventarrones de las 6pm me avisaban que pronto la podía ver. Me ubicaba en su ventana, donde le resumía mi día mientras tomaba de sus jugos sin azúcar. Donde con sus besos descansaba mis ojos, donde me envolvía en su cuello para derramar suspiros de tranquilidad y felicidad.

Screenprinting

This is my first screenprinting project. 

When I was in highschool I refused to take screenprinting lessons because I thought it was useless. Like photography (silly me) I realized this technique is amazing, as well as photography.

I documented the process.

The materials

The design.

I have to say something about theses inks. I used lithographic paint. The red paint is a pain in the ass. It's thick and messy and really hard to work with. The yellow paint is another pain in the ass. Due to its substance the paint is thin and transparent. It takes twice the time to dry. The blue paint is amazing, it's perfect overall. But when I made green paint the yellow took over this cool color.

So here's my 4 hours of pain with the red paint

Forgot to put the paper and I printed the glass

kill the red, kill the red

Linig up the artwork

Bloody red

Blue tryouts

 

Next day. Green

Finally done after so many hours

This is the result. :)

By the way, the illustration was based on "I shot Andy Warhol" movie. Great movie :)

Another Crying Portrait May 2010

Esta noche lloré y ummm que rico lloré :)

Who's your QuinTor?

Es una mierda.

Ella dice: "perderte es una mierda"

Y ella le contesta: "como te perdiste fue una mierda"


Yes. Indeed.



I was thinking about adding sound to my illustrations without making it look like a talking clipart. So I used a little movement.

I hate it.

I'd like to search the ingredients to the "something" I want to create. I will keep working on this sound/movement/illustration.

I wonder if somebody is trying this.
