I’m going thru a necessary hiatus on this blog. Needed to put some thoughts in order while starting up my company to focus on getting some clients and orders rolling. Still had the time to go watching some polo game…very cool stuff.

I’ve been quite busy lately after being commissioned a painting for a poster.
It’s just finished and I’m quite happy with the result and I’m expecting to see it printed quite soon.
I cannot put images of it till is published but in couple of days will be done.

Cool stuff…

Today had a photo shoot and press conference at the Cirque Du Soleil site.
It was great to see how they raise the tent and how they get ready for a month of daily shows.
It was a privilege to being able to wander around and talking to the tech crew.
I hope I get a pass to visit the site to prepare a proper reportage of the cirque.
Fingers crossed.

Hard times for starting your own company, they all will say. and they might be right. But there was no turning back for me. I just wanted to do it and I’m right now somewhere between panicking and joyful, but then again, if you don’t do it now when the world is in crisis and blah blah you wont probably do it anymore.
So what’s the plan, stan? simple: I will follow my guts. And how is that? -you may ask- well dear, I will become a full time Artist-Photographer and sell my art and images online, thru this blog.
Call me names, if you will, I couldn’t care any less for those nah-saying . I know I will find out there some crazy people like me wanting to do something out of the normal path.
Time will prove me right.

Salud!

This is the beginning of a strip i’m planning about a guy who’s struggling with his life in the mid 30’s…

I should be continuing the comic on regular basis cos seems to me like a good start. I’m good at starts, but mostly i drop the things I’m doing in the middle. Ans that’s not so cool.

Beautiful acrylics on canvas…for sale now…

Hello folks, (is anybody out there anyway?

I’ve been busy with other projects but shall update soon.

Stay tunned…

As promised a few days back, I’m posting here how to create an universal master piece.

Make notes:

First off, we need a support to draw on. in my particular Case, I’ve evolved from drawing directly on the school table, to use paper sheets, due to the difficulty of taking the table with me to show my stuff.

A paper sheet, looks more or less like the one on the picture.

Next, using Scotch tape or similar, we cover the borders making a frame…this is optional and it’ll be like the one shown below…

Once we’ve got the drawable surface, we start drooling with the pencil…freely, like this:

…this…

…this…

…and this…

Now…once we see more or less what we had on our minds, we go to the no less important step: the ink.

I personally use different methods going from nibs, the old Rotrings, markers o simply Bic pens, a very nice and cheap tool of beautiful results.

After which, we have a quite disgusting result…mix of lines and materials, so we erase the graphite with white rubber trying not to break the paper or damage the drawing, affecting the general look of the work and our nerves at the same time…

After the drawing is clean, we pass to the coloring, to round it up and make it sweet…in this case, I used watercolors because I like it and also (why not) because i wanted to…being one of the best ways to color things on paper…

It happened many times that when putting colors, I completely screwed up the thing after hours of work…in these cases, cursing and shouting out loud won’t fix the thing, but helps a lot to calm you down…

Once we are happy with the image in general, we can carefully take the tape off, leaving the borders clean and beautiful…

The final result is a couple of posts below…I hope you liked it and contributed to your general knowledge (and life)

In the next class, we will learn how to do Heart surgery in 5 steps, and don’t miss our section “Build your own nuclear reactor in your backyard”

That’s all folks!
