Quedan cordialmente invitados a esta intervención organizada por TOCTOC con apoyo del municipio de San Pedro en la que compartiré espacio con artistas e ilustradores como Cecy Meade, Gaby Fuentes, Edgar Bacalao Argaez, Graphikslava, Los Contratistas, Netoplasma, René Almanza, Spin, Tomás Hache, Violeta Hernández y Violetta Ruíz.
CAPICÚA | intervención in situ
“¿Es la ciudad la que encuentro afuera o es mi cerebro el que vive dentro; es lo diestro lo que me busca? ¿O lo siniestro lo que me encuentra? ¿Es el momento donde se detiene la realidad y todo aparece en un sutil caos? Es el momento en que me detengo y me encuentro o desaparezco inmerso en la realidad externa de mi sueño interno; ¿qué existe afuera y que existe adentro?
¿Qué es esta confusión?
…Vivo adentro, existo fuera… inhalo afuera, exhalo adentro.”
El evento se llevará a cabo el próximo fin de semana (12 y 13 de febrero) en la Plaza Juárez en San Pedro Garza García a partir de las trece horas y además habrá actividades paralelas como talleres para niños, serigrafía por el Sr. Jalapeño, música en vivo, comida y más. El mapa con la ubicación lo encuentran por acá. Ojalá puedan asistir.
Been Caught Stealing 03
Ouch!
Preview art by Eva Cabrera, Oscar Carreño and Renato Guerra from next friday page. Keep rockin´ at El Arsenal: Been Caught Stealing webcomic.
Kara quick study
Kara (Black) is the main character in Benim Adım Kırmızı (My Name is Red) by Orhan Pamuk. This is just my first attempt to make a full illustration based in Pamuk´s book, that is my current favorite book. At the same time is part of the development for another idea influenced by turkish culture and pirates.
My Name is Red was my first novel by Orhan Pamuk (who was recommended to me by my dad), since then, I have read two books by the same author (Snow and The New Life), but My Name is Red is still my favorite.
Two pieces in progress
More time to practice, write and draw. In fact, Im excited because at last my first script proposal for a foreign project is done (and send to the talented artist), hope to say more in future times.
Above image is going to be my next blog header, current one comes from Daughter of the Sea first page (of 4) and promo published in a mexican comic book anthology and would be nice make an original piece just for this space. Next image is just an inking and shading practice, also want to practice cut colors and cell-shading colors with every one.
Labyrinths process
Labyrinths was a short story based on some Jorge Luis Borges fable, originally published in Openhaüs.03 (in b&w)… soon will be available at full color here.
Heres part of color process from page 1.
Bigger image here.
Stay tuned.
Remake
Im inking a couple of draws in my free time, the first was my attempt to make something for the Ivan Brodsky remake/remodel thread in Whitechapel forum but I dont finish at time and the sketch was here… alone :( …until now! :)
Next one is a… remake of an old (cute) draw of mine:
Maybe the remake could be NSFW, Im not sure but just in case… [Read more]
