An ice cream and a medal.


Well I am finally loading the images, and one of them is going to be all over my town in the following days...I was told to have some changes in the poster work and The promoters wisely told me that the black background would be the best option for the next batch of posters they ordered to be printed.So I didn´t sleep at all and as soon as I finished the art I send the piece to the printers.
So I am loading both versions and hopefully I will load pictures of me and the posters in the street.
I came from my downtown to buy a new lace for a medal that I always hold on my neck and I ate a delicious ice cream of Mamey (that is my favorite ice cream)!!
Nice day indeed!!!
Have a great day!!

Luchas Night... and My Artwork!








Well today was amazing at least the last part of the day!. I had a nice time with the big part of the show, as some of you know I am really fond of the female wrestler Amapola, and this time the show was great because Princesa Suhei, Amapola, Dark Angel and Marcela gave a great show!!.El Corsario beated the shit out of El Toro and El Toro lost his hair..it was good not the best but good enough to enjoy!!.
Then The Match of Dos Caras Jr, Corleone vs El Terrible and Hector Garza was really fun.
This day was so special because for the first time I saw my artwork as part of the publicity in my hometown, it was so funny to see some guys taking pictures of The poster I did!!!.
I feel just proud and grateful to the people of The Arena (Thank you!!).
I and do really see myself working in those posters for many many years and more to come!!!
Have a great day!!
I will load the piece from the poster in a couple of days with some other photos of my hometown!! :)

The Iron Beast.

This time These recommendations are the ones done by my girl.
I have already heard some of these bands in the past when I was in high school and in college...as I was telling her because I really do not listen to them in a daily basis so I can really like when I listen to them once in a while.

SOULFLY
COAL CHAMBER
ARCH ENEMY
THEATER OF TRAGEDY
KITTIE
OTEP
AFTER FOREVER

I really like the taste of my girl ....I can gladly recommend Kittie and Otep in case you like Metal.
In fact when I was in high school and college I loved to study while listening to that kind of groups...funny times!!!!

Have a great day!!!

Thank you so much Michael May!


I was checking my daily mails and I then decided to browse over the net and I found this article written TODAY by Michael May.
I can only say THANK YOU for being so nice commenting on our project Rocket Girl, I can really understand many of the issues you mention in terms of the story and that is the great fun of it, because some of the plans in the story are to make the reader believe some things you mentioned and there are some obvious things that We are still working on it, I know that after these couple of years Nik has grown as a writer and I have as an artist so I know that RG3 will be more solid than the 2nd and I am sure that number 4 will be even more superior than the 3rd, and thank you thank you for being so kind with me and my artwork.
And as I told you I really want you to keep around with us, because this is our baby in many many ways and as I have said to Nik several times over the years I see myself doing Rocket for the long long future aside all the work I am planning to do!!!
Have a great day!! and Michael thanks again you help us to be better!!!!

Who cares?

Today was really good I was advancing more in the comic load of work I have and I had to wait for some paper work to come from my school.
I am showing a photo with some of the work I am working on (work that I can show for now) with some proposals I have to do to some people with the help of the Family members that became my partners on this.
I was also talking about plans with one of my best friends about our own Architecture and Design Office in fact our patner that is a nice person and a good designer is already working in the Corporative design and paper work that will represent us over August-September.
So I can not complain at all.

Have a great day and hopefully I will load these pieces soon on the blog...aside the comic work I am doing...!!!
Be good!!

A good day...yeahp! a good day!

I am coming back from buying my tickets for the next Luchas Day and also from sending the Cover work I was working on..let me put it this in an OFFICIAL WAY!!,
Starting this week I am the former Illustrator of the Poster work in the Arena of my Hometown!!! Yay!!:)
As I said to a friend of mine over the days I am not looking for Fame, I am looking for The Prestige of being the designer of the Arena, I have two pieces to show.
This is one of the strongest pieces in terms of design that I have done but was rejected totally (I understand why, economical matters mainly) the lesson is that I learned the direction of the future Cover Work done to them. The other was approved immediately so as soon as I work another one in a more classic way and receive the approval I will start sending the pieces to the printer.
I am just grateful to these persons and I can see myself doing great things with them..so what is the plan, well I need to work in the piece that was not approved and with my Comic Work.
I can not load the approved pieces yet, I will wait till everypiece is already in the streets only as a matter of respect to the Arena, but for sure I will load the rejected pieces before here!!.

About my thesis I send some extra paper work to see what is the situation.... as usual seems the guy checking my paper lost them so I need to send 3 papers more and see what is the resolution but from what I felt and heard I am really close to finally get the approval and start the hard work on my thesis.
So I can not complain at all!!
I also checked my grade from my English Exam: I got 97 of 100!!!!! hohohohohoho!! The easiest exam ever!!!

Have a great day!!

My own installation.

Since some years....sorry firstable Heather congratulations on your ending of your studies...I wish you a great change of life!!!.
Well since some years I have been tossing the idea of having an installation artwork and it seems funny but in less of a month I will be able to show some pictures, so as soon as it happens I will talk about it!.
I am done with page one of ROCKET GIRL 3, I already work in the panel sequencial of 5 pages of THE UNWANTED, I am doing now an 8 page preview paneling work of THE LAST CHANCE. I also did the Cover work that I needed to do for this weekend and it will be part also of my own installation and plans in my hometown. I haven´t gotten paid yet, seems my boss didn´t pass the invoice on time to be paid. Gets on my nerves but what else can I do? such is life..:)
I am also giving some money to start a business to get some money selling clothing, I also have to talk about money matters for the new business I am starting with a great and loyal Family, We are offering art and design development for Wrestlers so If you happen to be a Wrestler or you are a friend of his/hers, let him or her know that We can help him/her on any matter related to design and different products like T-shirts, poster work, design of costumes, etc and hopefully in the short term... toys!.
So We have a meeting over this week or next so I am busy as hell and also in some hours I am checking what is the scope on my thesis approval to know my timings to start working.

Have a great day!!

Dan, I have good news and over Tuesday finally send some work to your way.
Sean I am sending something over the week and Nik I finally started Rocket Girl!!!:) :)

Luchas Plan.

I am coming back from the meeting and I can say is that it was even much much better than I expected.Now, I am in works of a plan with people in The Arena of my hometown. I won´t say anything yet, I will post images as soon as I have something to show off from this plan that I had on my mind since some years ago, what I can say is that I am grateful of the things coming my way with these guys.
This is not about money in fact I will get zero but from what I heard I will obtain some help in some aspects for the help on this plan. I am really excited, for me sounds like a good deal.
Stay tune for more info!!
Tomorrow I am starting my teaching, so I am only giving classes on Saturdays. I am so happy to have finally some time for me and my thesis and my plans!!
Next Monday I will see what happened with my thesis progress and I also need to collect some money people owe me.

I was one of those fools

I was one of those fools that could not watch this movie till yesterday!!! I have to say that I really really like it, this is maybe one of the best works of Miller in terms of storytelling and great scenary setting and character adaptation from the director. I really liked the way the comic was respected.
I am still intrigued how in hell they will adapt Family Values because to be honest it does not have that spark of all the previous works done by Miller.
Watch it If you, as me, are one of those fools who have not watched it yet!!

Have a great day!!

Naughty thoughts.

I was searching for the right studio in clothing for my comic AMBAR that will take place in the earlier 19th century and I gladly found some risque pictures taken over the 1920 and 1900 sad I can no show the full photo but I really loved the pose!!!.
I will have tomorrow an important meeting with a person so as soon as I get good news I will talk about them...I am sure I will bring great news!!
Have a great day!!

Kap viene a México!!!. Que disfrutes mi país!!!!
¡Cuate, aqui hay tomate!
El próximo miércoles 23 de mayo por la tarde, en el Museo de la Caricatura de México D.F. se inaugura una exposición antológica sobre el dibujante catalán Kap, bajo el título "Kap y la nueva caricatura catalana" se podrá ver una selección de las viñetas, chistes y caricaturas que éste dibujante ha estado publicando durante los últimos doce años en la prensa catalana.

Luchas Night!! And mixed emotions!








This time We arrived a little late because We were doing some stuff that I can not comment :), after that We enjoyed the Night or at least part of the night, all the matches were good in special a small flying tournament done and I was impressed to see some people I wanted to see doing their stuff, people like Stuka Jr, Flash, Maximo (He didn´t wrestle as He knows but He gave a nice show), Leono (sadly for the second time He hasn´t fight as He knows how to), Astro Boy, and Super Nova, but definitely the best of the night were Stuka and Super Nova (amazing wrestlers!!!!).
The bad part is that Blue Demon Jr, Mascara, Mr. Aguila (He used to be so incredible specially in his flying acts and for a strange reason He is not anymore putting heart on his work always looking as lazy and disenchanted as possible at the speed He is going I can predict his retiring soon) and Damian were the same wrestlers about to fight the same night in Celaya (a place 30 minutes far from my town) what it meant that they really didn´t wrestle properly and took care of themselves a lot in fact, many people got angry and left the show as soon as the match ended. It was sad, I hope that the next night will be really much better than the last one. In their defense (wrestlers) I imagine how difficult is to fight two times in a day but at least If they were putting some heart to the fight people should have understood.

We ate tacos after the show and those were delicious!!
Have a nice day!!

Mi Cadaver Exquisito!


Esta es la pieza que será la número 15 del Cadaver Exquisito! La verdad queria que se distinguiera de los demás y decidí utilizar el formato que David Lafuente utilizó. Si hubiera tenido más tiempo algo más trabajado hubiera salido, pero para ser el primero estoy contento.

This is the piece that will be number 15 in El Cadaver Exquisito!. To be honest I wanted the piece to be distinguished from the rest so I decided to used the format David Lafuente used.
If I had had more time I would have worked more the piece, but to be my first I am fairly content.
I wanted a Psychodelic approach on the piece!
