Lake of secrets

Te-beo en la calle finished last Sunday. Artist alley went great. Also the live drawing session.

One of the surprises of those days is that last Friday I discovered I won the contest of Trampa fanzine, in the category I participated, senior illustration. I really didn't expect it!! but it also made my day... Even if it still looks like a dream.

The illustration you can see above, is the one I sent to participate. A mermaid in a lake? I wanted people to get a story, their own version, out of this illustration :)

Also, here is a photo, thanks to Alberto Bueno, of the moment right after I got the diploma:

If you are in Córdoba (Spain) you could get the fanzine for free, with my illustration on it, among the rest of participants.

It's all for today. Have a nice day!!

Witch and books

It's Halloween time!! Have fun those who celebrate it, in any way you dedicate this day (Dia de Todos los Santos in Spain).

Sadly, this year I couldn't do a specific illstration f or today, so I decided to post this old illustration of which, a while ago, I drew it's original background. You can find this same illustration, just with the girl alone here.

Hope you have fun. See you soon!!

Cheese & Books

There is only one thing this little mouse loves next to read books... eating cheese!. And if he can do both at same time... everything around he becomes really messy.

I had this illustration done for a while and it was time to post it already.

Also, it was a great excuse to draw two things I love. Animals and books :)

I wish I had time to get lost in books, to learn new things from them. And it scares me a little I won't be able to learn because there is never enough time.

Do you have time, if so let me know where it lives!!

Love comes

And sizes, and colors, it doesn't matter!!

Even after the last Art Market finished, I keep being busy. I had no time at all, but I did many different things and I met a lot of people, some of which I wanted to meet for a long time... Busy days with, but with lots of love for sure ;)!!

Hope you had a great week and that you had fun! More to come soon! I need to organize many things >

The Little Prince Zine

I can finally show you the illustration I did for an online fanzine called The Little Prince Zine, organized by Jilian Andre. The final zine will be posted officially during this month here, but we already got permission to post our illustrations online. You can check the rest of the illustrators who took part in it with hashtag #thelittleprincezine (for Twitter and Tumblr specially). Thanks to Jilian for organizing this zine and to let me take part in it.

About my illustration, we could do any illustration we liked about The Little Prince book, and in my case, I chose to illustrate my own version of chapter 12: the one about the tippler. Surely not the most famous chapter, but one that called my attention since the first time I read this book.

It tells us Little Prince' short visit to a planet where a tippler lives, lost in his drinking and ashamed of his actions, but incapable to stop doing so.

I wanted to do my own interpretation of this chapter. Of course, this man doesn't live in a big bottle in the book, but I wanted to show with it his addiction, and how lost he is, so much he's unable to see the house outside, with a light on!. I wanted people to think that maybe there was someone waiting for him, but he 's unable to get out "of his bottle" and embarrassment. Little Prince can't reach ("to swim") to him, this man won't listen to him, and he needs to go to the next planet. Just the man can go out. Will he be able? There are better things for him out there...

I think this chapter needs to be more famous, even if it can look random and really short, there's a lot of meanning behind it, and always actual.

I had fun planning this one. And if you noticed, I used the same character for the Little Prince as in this illustration.


I will let you know once this fanzine is up for everyone to check. Hope you had a nice start of classes, or back to work. See you for now! (now back to work, next week will be busy for sure!)

Teapot home

Spending a summer at home, but working a lot!! Even so, I wish colder days to come soon so I can have alittle cup of hot tea again.

These days I have been playing and having fun with some new watercolors I got a while ago.

Hope you are having a nice day!!
