I have been super busy lately, my full-time job and my freelancing are taking all my time. But every once in a while I mange to squeeze a sketch or two in my sketchbook. Last year I went to the Seattle Show and got one of those four-color Bic pens and I’ve been using it quite a bit, it’s pretty fun. Here are some sugar skulls I did last week.
I did this illo for a project about family and friendship, coming together for the holidays, etc. the project got killed but I kinda liked the image so here it is. I haven’t posted in a long time, between work and some freelance projects, it’s been a little busy. I also posted this at Sugar Frosted Goodness, cool website, check it out! Now!
Last January my good pals from Modern Dog presented their new book at the Henry Art Gallery at the UW. The event was pretty cool, saw old friends and enjoyed some good stories about poster design. The book is very cool and has a bunch of pictures, even my dog is in there! here are some pics.
Here is Mike, Robynne, Me and Vitto.
Here is the detail of Cooper. All the dogs were drawn by my good buddy Roberto Cebolla (aka Rob Zwibel.)
and here is the real Cooper,
and here is the sweet poster I scored.
I participated in the Series 5 for the Speakerdog papertoys, a project by Ben the Illustrator. Here is the link, check them them all out or you can download my toy here.

This is my contribution to Illustration Friday. The topic for this week is Alphabets. One of the letters in the Spanish alphabet besides the “Ñ” that is not in the English one is the “Ch”. It also happens to be one of my favorite letters. I just love the sound of it, some of my favorite words with Ch are: chido, chingón, chucherías, chafa, churro, cháchara and I can go on and on and on… and of course Chango!
My little brother loves Brazil and Guitars so here he is.
This is an illustration of my cousin Alan, he lives in Mexico City and loves soccer. His birthday was last Wednesday, since I can’t really give him a gift I decided to make him this. Felicidades gordo.
Here is the second illustration for Illustration Friday. The theme for this week is “visitors”. When I think of visitors I think of a kid coming home late and sneaking in without being noticed. Even the cat doesn’t know him anymore.
