I did a large drawing that you can only see fully if you have a 21″ screen or larger. It’s not that good anyway, so you are not missing much.

Website Background

I called it “The Evil Powers of Illustration.”

Let me do a bit of an off-topic here.

After almost three years of living in a 30-days-of-night kind of setting, we’ve had almost two weeks of sun in Ireland. It is fantastic.

I never minded the Irish weather since I moved back in 2001. But after two years with only one season, the sun is very, very welcome.

This is a rejected concept for a job I am undertaking at the moment. I though I would share it rather than let it lie low in the bottom of a cluster in one of my hard drives… It is pretty much what Ireland is like these last few days.

This was one of the last posts in the old alemercado.com After that I got really busy doing all sort of things, including websites for everyone else.

I eventually started blogging in 2006 but left my own website completely unattended.

I am extremely happy to have my website up and running again… quite up to date: it has a blog, news feed, my images are shared from my Flickr account… All very Web 2.0

I hope you enjoy reading these pages and am looking forward to hear any comments from you

Talk soon

While we get ready to open the Illustrating Illustration Exhibition in Spain there are lots of things happening here: The Woodstock Explorer Pack is finished and produced; so is the new Barnstorm production (poster below)

and, waiting for final approval, next year’s poster for the Fresh Film Festival (detail of one of the images at the top of this post).

Hope you enjoy them
