1994: Los Patéticos

October 7, 2008 – 7:33 PM

I had to start an illustration today that reminded me of an old job I did ages ago… I tried to find it without joy. Instead I came across this I did back in 94. A couple of years before I became friends with computers (I had one at that stage but I hated it.)

Some Old Character Drawings

August 26, 2008 – 8:35 AM

These are a few characters I designed last year for a Film Festival Poster. None of them were used. I’ve just found them when I was archiving the latest illustrations I am doing. Which I hope to be posting soon.I thought it might be interesting to show illustrations before they are treated in the computer. [...]

August 8, 2008 – 10:16 AM

This week, I’ve finished a one page comic for a Charity Comics Anthology put together by Cliodhna at Ztoical (www.ztoical.com)  It’s been great to go back to inking pages the old way.

Famous Rejects

May 14, 2008 – 5:56 PM

I am clearing my hard drive from jobs done last year. I’ve come across this poster that never made it. It was very influenced by Saturio Alonso’s Olmo pieces. I also got to see the three attempts to get to the final image for this film festival… It was quite difficult to get the mood [...]

Archives – Pericón 2002

May 9, 2008 – 8:55 AM

I was talking to my uncle Pepe last night. He’s always been a fantastic supporter of my work (gracias tito!) He had recently visited the blog and was commenting on how much my illustration had evolved… Something I really can’t see. So I got to look at some old stuff this morning. I normally don’t [...]
