GOOD NEWS ALL AROUND!!!

So, I think me and my friends may be doing something right.

First of all, my friend Santiago Rocha won the first place for best short film on http://www.animacam.tv with his movie EL MONSTRUO

Then, today, our internet show "El pequeño tirano" got mentioned on one of Colombia´s main newspapers.



Posted on their webpage http://www.elespectador.com/noticias/judicial/video-agro-ingreso-seguro being the most voted and commented video on their list.

and talked about it on a radio show of the first radio station of Colombia.

It turned out to be a great monday.

Let´s hope we can keep it up.

We're kinda back!!!!

So, I´m back from my month long trip to Spain where I was Invited to be jury for the International festival of animation, Animadrid.

I came back to find that my two best friends and colleagues had put in motion the development of a new episode of our online series: EL PEQUEÑO TIRANO (the little tyrant). As we´ve been developing some episodes for a long time but haven´t been able to release them for many reasons this was a great welcoming gift.

I had a very tangential participation on this episode. I drew and animated the header of the show and the title image.



This image is a parody on the cover of Dostoevsky´s book, Notes from Underground (Memorias del subsuelo).



I hope this will get us back on track and producing episodes.

Also to celebrate, I release this Wallpaper



Enjoy.

One of the greatest!

The Night I was chased by a crazy nun!

Soho Magazine asked me to illustrate an article by peruvian author, Jaime Bayly.

As the title literally tells us, this piece talks about a crazy nun that chases the author in a concert hoping that she can "make him straight" again.


She keeps refering to him as "A Little Ant" that got out of line.


THE STRINGS

As I finished reading the image of the famous poster of Hitchcock´s North by Northwest came to my mind. With the the flying nun instead of the villainous plane.


Cary Grant, run!


Sally Field, Fly.

A flying nun. What a great concept.

PS: On the lower right corner I made a little nod to Salvador Dali.

Enjoy ;)
