Bye bye, sweet bastard

2008 gone and I wil miss it.
2007 and 2008 were great times… yeah, maybe my biggest personal trouble (and tragedy) comes this year but also the biggest chance to make a living from my work comes almost the same time. I cant slip my personal life from my work life, both are the same thing: illustration, words and comics are my full breathe (no more, no less).

P.D. I wanted to post a picture from my drawing table, Im working in some short stories and a big (self-concluded) comic-book but I dont have my camera, Im gonna update this entry in a few days.

Special day, special photo.
Because is the rarest thing to be with my parents and that we could have chance to capture it in a photo.

As Silvio says: Anguish is the price of being yourself.

Wet kisses to all…

Thanks to Eva for take this special photo.

Move on!

::moving::

Tomorrow is the great day, we are moving to a new house. A lot of boxes full of books and comics are like the 60-70% of total luggage. Im going to be offline a lot of days (I dont know how many) thanks to our lazy “domiciliary changes” internet provider.

Thanks for all old house, I will miss you.

Times are changing

::buckaroo preview::

Today is the day, after a few illness I get back to work at full time.
A lot of cool projects are close, not only my color work for Moonstone (Buckaroo Banzai), this one-shot comic has been a great learning experience to me thanks to Paul Hanley (artist) and Joe Gentile (editor). Another project is a short 3 pages story to El Arsenal: Mixtape with writer Abraham Martínez and again with Abraham theres a short 4 pages story for Openhaüs.03

Comics fever

Almost 5am in this side of Earth, Eva goes to sleep 3 hours ago. We are working in the first issue of Openhaüs, a comic-book anthology with works by Ani Castillo, Norma Cuéllar, and of course, Eva and myself. Openhaüs.01 comes this november 16th in a local Con. Eva`s short story is titled El Manzano (The Apple Tree), she draw an illustration for Norma short tale too, my short story is titled Raíz (Root).

We are happy, we are tired… and we are full of stress. But we are making comics and comics are good (as Becky could say). Im the only man in the first issue and Im very proud of it; theres not a lot of women in Mexico working on comics, Openhaüs not have only comicgirls, Openhaüs have talented comicgirlsGrrrrl Powa!!! in his highest point.

The image from above is the final lineart of the cover, a post about process coloring is coming in a few days.

Now to bed.

UPDATE: 8am and Im going to work, I upload this cover to Flickr some minutes ago.

October, the twelve…

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…)
