Sneak Peek

its a group of 20, Ihope, and its called "teenagers".
I pretty much hate all teenagers, but its probably the time when you can be whatevere the f*** you want, that includes how you look, how you see the world, anything. you dont care about anything but you, and always have something to say about anything, well, we all have, agreed, but as a teenager you dont care about consequences of saying or doing things that, probably as an adult, you would regret.

the impossible triangle

le añadi textura para variar un poco, la mezcla de vectores+texturas siempre viene bien

Sr madrid en ilustradores ecuatorianos

hace algunas semanas ilustradores ecuatorianos , una pagina que muestra muy buenos trabajos de gente del medio en nuestro pais, publicó una entrevista y algunos trabajos mios. es buena la iniciativa de mostrar lo que varios "ilustradores" del pais vienen haciendo, no solo por conocer el talento de otras personas, que capaz nunca viste su trabajo, si no porque te obliga a querer sacar mejores cosas, a dedicarte por completo.
ya son dos años de estar en esto y hasta ahora ningún trabajo me ha dejado 100% feliz, hay tantas cosas por hacer y el tiempo que no alcanza. solo quiero dibujar .
muchas gracias a felix hurtado por el post.

some weeks ago , ilustradores ecuatorianos , a webpage created to show professional and amateur portfolios of national illustrators, featured an interview and some of my works. i think the idea of showing what others are doing is remarkable, but is also challenging, cause it obligates you to work harder.
its been 2 years now Ive been doing this, and until now I havent felt 100% satisfied with any of my works , theres so much to do , and time is short. I just want to draw

les dejo el link por si quieren ver la entrevista
Im leaving the link in case You want to read the interview

old work but Ill always love it

THE MAKING OF A POSTER

THE PROCESS OF CREATING A POSTER FROM BEGINNING. FIRST U NEED TO KNOW WHAT ARE U GONNA DO, IM NOT SAYING U ALREADY HAVE TO HAVE THE EXACTLY PICTURE OF HOW ITS GONNA LOOK LIKE. BUT ITS BETTER TO KNOW THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS THAT WILL MAKE THE COMPOSITION STAND OUT. I LIKE TO EXPERIMENT IN THE WAY. OK MAKE SURE , TO BEGIN, U GOT -SERIOUSLY- GOOD RESOLUTION PICTURES, IN THE CASE U WANT TO PRINT LATER. AND MAKE SURE U CAN ACTUALLY USE THE PICS U WILL WORK WITH. ITS IMPORTANT TO QUOTE REFERENCES.
THEN WHEN U HAVE MOST ELEMENTS U START FOCUSING ON THE MAIN PART OF THE COMPOSITION, THIS CASE, THE ZEBRA ITSELF. AS U WORK ON, U LL REALIZE WHAT NEEDS TO BE ADDED, OR IN THIS VERY SAME CASE, BEING DELETED. DONT BE AFRAID OF TRYING, DELETING OBJECTS, OR CHANGING COLORS. REACH THE POINT U FEEL SATISFIED WITH IT.

webpage proposal

im hoping to get my own web page in 2010 and id really like to have this as an intro, maybe in motion?? hope to see it done this year....
