Illustration Friday FLAVOR

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's challenge. Your comments are appreciated.

If Blue is a feeling and a color, it maybe could be a flavour... happy New Year everybody!
El azul, que es un color y un estado de ánimo (in ínglish, porque aquí no sé yo...) podría ser también un sabor. Bueno hay un zumo de Rives (Blue Tropic, creo) que tiene un sabor raro, azul dulzón como a pitufo.
Feliz 2006 a todos.

Le Petit Chaperon Rouge

Le Petit Chaperon Rouge, aka Red Hot Riding Hood or Caperucita Roja, in a not very usual agressive pose. She seems to say:" Come on Wolvie, take the basket if you dare.."

Pues eso, una Caperucita algo broncas, en plan "venga lobito, acércate a por la cestita si tienes lo que hay tener..."

After a xmas hard day's night, there's nothing better than a few well-deserved holidays.

Después de una dura noche repartiendo regalos... Santa se merece unas buenas vacaciones.

Illustration Friday IMAGINE

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's challenge. Your comments are appreciated.

"Imagine all the people...Sharing all the world..." John Lennon. This is his word.
Imagine, un piano y John Lennon..tres caras del mismo espejo.
Happy Xmas everybody.
Felices Fiestas amigos! Y próspero 2006 a todos!

Celebrity Death

This is my new entry for Eurovision Art Challenge, this time the topic is "Celebrity Death". I was thinking about some kind of tragic formula 1 race, with three losers and only one winner: Mr. Death. Congratulations for Michael Schlingman, the winner of this topic
You can see the other entries here.

Para el concurso de esta semana el tema era "Celebrity Death" (que no alcanzo muy bien a traducir, la verdad) Así que pensando en una carrera de fórmula uno algo trágica...solo me imagino a un ganador (la muerte.) Iba a dibujar a los demás corredores por ahí hechos polvo, pero al final no ha dado tiempo, así que la muerte se lleva los flashes, el premio, el champán y a las chicas de la foto.

Sublime

I made this illo for an exhibition contest in UK. The theme was "Sublime", "inspired by recent imagery of the forces of nature and scenes of war, the organization wanted images of contemporary visions of the sublime."
Unfortunately the image was not chosen.
As you can see, it's very influenced by the great French artist Sempé.

Una ilustración para un concurso inglés (de la asociación de ilustradores de uk). Aprovechando el Tsunami, el Katrina y las guerras actuales, porponían como tema "lo sublime".
Al final no han seleccionado el dibujo.
Se ve claramente que está muy "inspirado" en el gran Sempé. (El jueves ha sacado algunos libros suyos y han reeditado ahora, Alfaguara creo, el pequeño nicolás.)

Illustration Friday SURPRISE

Ho, ho, ho... Santa is here, what a wonderful surprise!

JOHN LENNON 1940 - forever

A little personal homage to him.

Illustration Friday BLUE

This is my entry for Illustration Friday's challenge. Your comments are appreciated.

Something strange... not so blue, isn't it? Try to scream "blue" if you're a red one.
I want to do something simple but very effective. Only red and white, even no ink.
It's the first illo I've done completely in a digital way (no pencil sketch this time).

BATMAN rough

A new quick-exercise. Sketch (very elaborate) with paper and pencil, all the color is done in photoshop.
I also use a little pig-headed-star wars toy (thanks to burger king) to get all the sahdows on the face. The illo was a little bigger, but I think this close-up is more powerful than the complete figure.
