Inspiring hair

I have a very dear friend, he is a a super talented hairstylist. So I drew specially for him  a girl with some inspiring hair as a gift for his new salon. I enjoyed very much while doing it, and so far is the illustration I like the most... And guess what? He put it in his website!!!

I am so flattered!!!  he even mentioned me there and put a link to my website

Thank you very much Cedric!

And great weekend for the rest of youuuu.

Special b.day

I made a little quick experiment today...  

I did this drawing about two weeks ago in pencil at work, wich by the way got  me in a little trouble with my boss!!! Of course!!! I mean drawing while working!!! I was very sorry. 

Any way I finished it by putting some color digitally. It's the first time I colored and illustration with Photoshop,  I prefere working with real paint and brushes... but I like how it turned out, plus, I didn't have to clean my regular mess when painting!! So check out  before and after...

It is also a very special day to me. 

It is one of the person's I love the most birthday!!!

My mother used to tell me that birthdays were very important to each of us because it is OUR OWN new year. The ending of cycle and the begining of another one and that we should spend and celebrate it the way we wanted to live the rest of the year...=)

Feliz cumpleanos guapo!!!!!

And for Tuesday...

Today I just want to share  an inspiring text...

"You are always a messenger for someone. 

Your talent and inspiration are meant to be delivered and shared. 

Today, revive a project you've left sitting on the shelf. 

You never know whose life you can improve, or save, when you complete it."

So, think of your talents, your proyects and share them!

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!

The Element of Freedom

So, the exhibition was last night. I had a wonderful time, many of my friends and very good friends were there, it was a great experience.

Thank you all for being there!

I also got invited to Alicia Keys concert. 

It was very fun. 

The concept of her songs and the lyrics are very deep...love, true and freedom. In fact the name of the album is  "The Element of Freedom"

It makes me think, have you think about it?....

What makes us be free or not...? 

 What is exactly the element of freedom?

To me....OURSELVES.

And how about at 2 a.m.
Two different experiences...Which one you like more?

Alicia in Wonderland

Today it'ss officially Alicia in Wonderland premiere!!!
I am so eager to watch it!! I really enjoy Tim Burton's creations, he is a great inspiration to me and a genious...and by the way he has an incredible exhibition at MoMa until April.
Please if you have a chance go.  It is awesome.
Back to the drawing, this one  is about Alicia growing so much because of the mushrooms she ate. This time I tried markers and ink and really liked how it turned out!

Enjoy the movieeeeee

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!

After the snow

I know we/me don't do maths and specially not in this blog, but I'm going to give you the formula for this drawing:

2.5 days of snow minus 2 days of school plus extra time off and amazing view from the apartment... all that multiplied by great music  = lots of fun & a great winter drawing!

Hope you enjoyed you weekend as I did!
