An old project might be coming to life....
fingers crossed

Hoy es Nueve

WorkForce

Yesterday around 1pm, as I was waiting in line in Chipotle and I noticed all this men and women around my age, waiting in line to buy their lunch. My first thought was that this is the workforce of young professionals moving this city forward. My second thought was, we're all part of this generation that was fooled into getting a job where you "climb the ladder of success", following a schedule and making just enough money to buy semi-fast food for lunch...

Goals

It's very important each day to remind myself, where am I going? what are my goals? what am I aiming for? I hope this drawing helps me as a reminder. He certainly knows what he's shooting for... ( or at?)...

His Majesty, Carlos IV, King of Spain

Shocked

oh gosh oh gosh I cant watch this!

Sense of Fashion?

I know; cultural inclinations are one thing, but there's no way this woman didnt notice how striking was her hot pink coat (fluffy by the way) and black burka.
Unavoidable to make a sketch.

No paper was harmed

I usually hate to see a post in a blog with a title like "done with my ipod" or something like that, because I cant believe that there's actually any merit base on whichever technique you use; however, this morning while riding the train to work, I did this quick sketch of a story I am working on and I was somewhat happy with the result and the fact that it was drawn on a tiny screen with a rudimentary stylus that resembles more a cotton swab.

That being said, the horse does look pretty creepy; have to learn how to draw those.

Subway sketch

There was something about this guy riding the Manhattan bound F train around 8am; the colors on his attire were pretty catchy...

Flight

You know when you get those annoying neighbors in your flight?

Cumple Carol

This one is almost a year old; It's for Carolina's bday, long story behind this one.
Brush pen and grays in PS.
Now I am working on some story boards that I hope to post soon.

Waiting for Nicolas

Almost literally.
Nicolas is our first baby and we're expecting him to be born on 10/10/10; but who knows, maybe a few days before, maybe a few days after. excitement is mounting!

Subway rider

Saw her a few days ago, while riding the subway to the doctor's office to take a peek at Nicolas. She seemed friendly, just slightly menacing.

Story

One exercise I was advised to do by Kyle Balda at Gobelins was to study this sequence of the movie The Sweet Smell of Success.
This is my first study in storyboard from. The scene is somewhat complex from a layout point of view, so that will be my next step.

Guy in the subway

He was talking to his pals all the ride long! he talked about kayaking, ferraris, and other stuff; pretty loud and sort of annoying. had to draw him.

Didn't we meet somewhere?

Always works to meet chicks...It always did for Bolivar

Weekend Sketches

Of course, this guy again. I am searching for his personality, that's why I explore this character so much; I think I am almost there, but still have to show him interacting with some people.

A "Nueve", fifties style

After a good illustration by Joe Bowler ( Joe, please dont "pull my legs" as I sleep tonight)
