Reverie with rabbits

2010-02-17T21:20:00.000-08:00

My rabbits are so furry that they get tangled in my hair when I pick them up for some snuggling sessions. They don't like being off the ground for long, and they start scratching to let me know they're sick of me. In the future I should opt for a more affectionate species of animals as pets.

This goes out to the special people that have touched my life somehow, you guys are stars. Also I was meant to post this on Valentine's day but the lazy libra me was just too, well, lazy.

Some sketches that I've done so far this year.

This cat lady has a little attitude problem.

This blushing chica is in love.

A songbird puffing out smokey hearts.

And a couple of native american inspired sketches. These two girls are probably from different tribes and have ever met each other before.

This little bee has been busy.

Lucky Charms

I finally found the time to scan this drawing and coloured it digitally. It certainly has been hectic these past couple of weeks. This piece is about lucky charms (see title above) and also I was a bit obsessed with jewelry making and also native american folklore. I was thinking maybe I should make my own dreamcatcher and hang it above my bed.

It's been a while since I've done any analog work. This piece was done for a friend, and hopefully it will get to him just in time for christmas. Unfortunately the scanner I used is a bit crap and the colours are kinda off.

I’ve been sick a lot lately and haven’t had the time or energy to do personal work. I started this one quite some time ago, and it’s still unfinished. I think I need a break since my creativity has been running low these days.

Weeping owl, owl.

The Last Polar Bear

2009-10-23T04:40:00.000-07:00

Now that I’m a bit more confident with my vector skills, I decided to experiment further and see where it will take me. What I’m trying to achieve is a style that’s unique from the rest of the talented people out there whom I just can’t compete with.

This one’s called ‘The Last Polar Bear’. The woman is the grim reaper who sadly waits for the bear to eventually drown when his tiny iceberg melts.

Myth

I'm back to blogspot (or is it blogger?) after some time of absence. Hi all.

And in line with my return, I'm posting up my recent illustration based on a joke a friend made about sending a herd of unicorns as my imaginary birthday present. I decided to experiment with pure vector because I feel that I’m too concerned with styling, that I totally leave the narrative out of the picture. By using vector the style of the outcome is inevitable, and therefore I can concentrate with the story.

Welcome stranger

When I was nine I kept a sketchbook that only me my best friend knew about. The brown cover tattered, on its cheap pages were my drawings of clothes that I designed myself. The drawings were more naive than beautiful, but they embodied a passion that I felt so early in my life. Those pages weren't for anyone but myself.

I religiously filled the pages, at least one a day.

One day I stopped. Then I forgot.

And out of the blue, on this day many years later, I remember again. My tattered brown sketchbook. It might be gone forever but the emotions attached still remain. And they have brought me here to continue the tale of a childhood love once lost.
