The Gruffalo

GolpeAvisa, a great design & illustration studio with base in Mexico is conducting and art-related initiative every Friday to invite the Mexican Illustrators community to participate in a creative exercise, they have one guest who come up with a theme every week and people will collaborate creating a piece on that theme. I received an invitation last week and happened that I was looking who were nominated this year in the Oscars for best animated short and one of them is this short for the BBC based on 1999 Children's Book The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.

So that was my theme and this is my piece:



Thanks to Cesar Moreno and Carlos Lerma for the invitation!

Custom G2 Mutant

Some time a go there was an art show inviting several artists to customize a G2 Mutant vinyl toy, the fabulous mascot of Nike 6.0 I wasn't invited to the be part of the show but recently my friend Jamal, who actually was in charge to 3D model this guy at Nemo Design asked me to customize his own copy of the very limited edition (6 pieces). And this is the result, he just said – I like Dia de los Muertos stuff– So, I did something expressing a bit that.

Vinyl Toy 12" tall, acrylics.

The Juggler

The other night I did this little guy just for fun, then I decided to animate him but now I'm not sure what I can do with him, maybe I'll complete the animation as a little short.
