::WORK::
Since last friday, Norma and me finished the 98 pages magazine project, 98 pages (articles, photos, interviews, et all!!) in 2 1/2 weeks. Now the “big ones” are asking for corrections so, we take this week for this. Thanks SO much to our collaborators (you were our salvation army). At the end, I dont make the illustration related to this post; instead, Im making one to Miguel Almaguer article. Here`s some lost pic:

I want to write a post about work process soon.

Since 3 weeks ago, my work has turned in something really interesting thanks to our new editor (Norma Cuéllar); I meet Norma randomly some years ago when I was starting as graphic designer, now we are working in a 98 pages magazine (and for that -and other things- my life is busybusybusy) about fashion, music, art, architecture and more.

Today we has a photoshot with Miguel Almaguer, a very young musician who has composed music for nearly 20 shortfilms (and 3 or 4 films), Miguel begun his piano lessons at the age of thirteen and have a lot of experience (if you dont believe me, please click in the link above). He gave us an article and Im gonna make an illustration for it… yeah babe!!

Our new raggaemuffin´ band, from left to right: Miguel, Norma, Mario and me.

Happy faces!

See you later… :)

Mom turns 52 today…

…that make me think about my own life, his direction and his final goal; a lot of things has changed in the last year: I have a regular job as editorial designer and, at last, as illustrator. She has been the best mom to a nonsense guy like me, she raised me alone and show me museums, trova music and interesting books in my childhood. All good things in my life has been thanks to her.

Happy birthday mom.
I love you.
Keep kicking arses.

(Im waiting for tomorrow´s party…)

From today´s interview. Part of Tomás Hernandez studio, Norma did the questions and I take the funny part: photos and more photos. I shot a lot of times and I dont remember clearly take this but its great, not for the magazine, just to my Flickr… hahaha!! By the way, Tomás is also in Flickr.

¡Gracias por la entrevista!

Approved sketch for magazine illustration.
I cant said much, but guess who is the main girl in this? c´mon is easy!! by the way, Im working as designer and illustrator for a new local magazine and its great!! Illustration is my hard beat and editorial design is in second place… well, design in general. I want to show you this illustration process and this is the first image. See you later, we have 98 pages to finish in 2 weeks… crazy, eh? but I love it.

Oh! I almost forget it!! The last saturday I finish a short tale; originally titled Fixionauta (fixionaut), the final title is Destino Manifiesto.
