Despite the state of things and the uncertainty, I still trying to create and do art as much as I can and the best I can, this winter has been a bit slow for me but I still working on some projects, this weekend I will be participating on a custom toy show, you can read the details on my blog. Also was finishing a piece for an art show in NY on March and advancing on a couple of commissions I have. here are some pics😊
I'm researching some graphics on vintage ads to use on my artwork, and I need to do some studies on these too, some are just sketches but some deserved a full render, this is a graphite on Bristol pad, it is been a minute since I've done a proper graphite piece. This is the first of a series I will call 'Mocha'. Also available on my webstore.
I forget at times how fun is to pencil, such a forgiving medium!😁
By the way got a new blog post and activated the chat feature on my substack page, everyone is welcome to come an leave messages, questions, comments, etc. and chat with me there, and here too! 😄 don't be afraid I am not that scary! 💀
Started working on a new body of artwork, keep learning and enjoying the process, times are really difficult and uncertain, much more than usual, but art keeps my mind focus, not sure what the immediate future holds for me, so I will just keep doing as much art as possible while keeping plans in limbo, still in hopes for a brighter time ahead.
below: wip, about half way done.
I was going through a backup of files (tedious job 😅) when I came across my old Ubuntu comics, I remember making them for the magazine but they were all rejected if I remember correclty, or maybe one made it? I don't know, any way, the funny thing is that now that I don't thinker much with my PC, I really forgot many of these terms I was making fun of 😄,
I have about 20 of these.
And yes, "El Criollos" was for a little bit my nickname 😄
I'm going to use this new platform to put up for sale some of my customized toys and older & smaller pieces, was originally created for art toys but now art, prints and illustrations are available there. I just made an account a few days ago and today I posted some pieces. For now only available within the US due to the circumstances.
These are "illustrated" toys 😄 the "spray cans" are about 3 inches tall, I don't think I can draw that small any more 🥲
'Kapua's Morning Walk' is my new artwork for the coming group exhibition by Thinkspace projects at the Hawai'i state art museum Capitol Modern. This is part of the Hawai'i Walls event previously known as Pow! Wow! Worldwide, focusing on mural, street and contemporary art.
You can read a little about my doing of this piece composition and theme at my blog.
