me?... skate board?

I've always had a very nice  group of friends from highschool and ever since we graduated we all started discovering our skills, prefences and choosing different paths. Some of my very closed ones decided they were very talented for skate boarding... and of course, it came along with skiing and surfing and all those fun sports where they balance in a little flat piece of "something"...
My talent stays with brushes and paper... But I've always wanted to join them and have as much fun as they have while doing it
So... there, me having fun with skateboarding!!


Hope you like it!

my first interview!!

I was thrilled when my good friend Cecilia kindly ask me for an interview for her new blog "farfalla mia". She dedicates this space to share her interest for architecture, design and art.

It was very interesting, because you would think we artists know everything about our art and have all the answers poetically and artistically written up... until someone asks key questions and... oops! I have never thought of that!!

So I started thinking more deeply about why I do what I do and why I like it... so if you want to find out go check the interview by clicking here.

Thank you Ceci!

Maite's look

Summer in NY is always very exciting,
and very hot of course.
Last week  my studio building had AC problems, so all the studios
were like ovens, literally, for almost 5 days...!!!

Any way it's fixed now and it feels great! You don't know
what you have until you loose it right?... so happy to have AC back.

This is an illustration of my good friend Maite.

When I saw her picture on fcbk  I totally
fell in love with her daring look
and the attitude altogether!!

Hope you like it!

Nice nice weekend! Stay cool! =)

Rabbits in the scene

Hello!   Hello!

How are you all??!!

Me, I am very excited, in Mexico having fun with family and friends!

This image was made for my BF's niece for her anniversary. She loves rabbits and purple (like me!) so I thought of doing something fun for her and it was very fun for me too!!!

Hope you are having great weekend plans!!

In the office...

This drawing is very special.

I made it for the office of a friend. She is directing a very nice and successful spa in the upper east side, Exhale, and thought she might like some company for her walls... ;) if you want to check their website just click here.

She really liked the movie AVATAR, I have another friend who says that she even runs like one of them, you know like very lightly and super fast!!! So this girl has special "avatar eyes". 

I hope you like it as I do!!!!

And guess what?? I also got a new artist studio!!! Yes yes yes!!! No more  storing things behind the bed or making a mess in the kitchen =)

I am officially decorating it now after a whole fieldtrip to Ikea with the help of my friends.... It would have been so hard with out them!! Thank you!!!

And then I'll post some photos when its ready.

Happy weekend!

My girls on the wall!

Yessss, my favorite curly girlfriend asked me to paint her wall with my drawings!!
It was a very nice and fun proyect to do. She was planing on redecorating her room, one of the walls was covered with grass, yes!!! super cool huh?  and for the other one she chose me! I felt very flattered, she even had her cousins going to her house to see me painting!!

The girls are about 5' 7" (1.67 m) and look great!!

Besitos Chinita!

Yoguiiii

I must confess that I have another passion in addition to illustration....
YoGa!!!I started a year and a half ago and  I just looooove it...!

One of my very favorites teachers is leaving for San Francisco in a month. It's kind of sad we are not having him in the practice anymore, but life is about that: changes and our reaction to those changes...

Any way, I thought I could post this for him

JD were are so going to miss you!
