A bunch of kids, think of it as a school photo (I thought of it because I found one of my own childhood) I want to do a picture book in this very “sketchy” and pencil -like monochrome style tbh.
I love colors and rendering but I also LOVE this. Can you tell?

And in this month, what better than to celebrate the differences between us, and support/respect all of them ✨I just hope every child in the world could have peace and a good life 🍉

I’ll go back to work

PEPITA, Imelda’s Right Hand
The new Disney Lorcana Set has been added to the app!

I had the chance to create this Pepita Card for the Hyperia City Set it was so much fun.Coco is for obvious reasons one of my favorite Disney-Pixar movies. And I love the characters are glimmers on this set and in this season 🌼

Ay! Con lo que me encanta Coco, fue muy bonito recibir esta carta para este set.

Pueden ver todas las cartas en la pagina de Lorcana y la app

Working with my AD Renee Chío such an honor and a wonderful experience.

Today is Lowrider For Sale’s book birthday! And now that is out, I really wanted to show you a piece of the whooooole process we have the team,and I made in the art side of this book I’m so proud of.

When I received Laura’s manuscript from Stefanie my super agent, I teared up a bit, since this story touched string about my personal life, and it was an instant yes!

I dived into the Lowrider culture, I seated hours watching lowriders designs, trying to understand the reason of their designs, and that every one of them has their own identity, it’s beautiful. I also watched a couple documentaries and competition videos, lowriders and their owners, The LA culture and the mix between the mexican background.Take your time researching whenever you have a project, it makes everything easier. When I was working on the final design for Pico Nights, I didn’t though of a literal night, it was about the summer and sunset colors from LA but also i was trying to add something from the flower art from Mexico, Chiapas so I made the design on top of Pico’s front side.
The colors? Are not just for the sake of being colorful, I really wanted the book to have this summer and warm feeling through it.
There’s a lot more to say about this book, but maybe i’ll leave it for another day, I really hope you give a chance to this book because aside of pouring our hearts and brains into this, you’re supporting more mexican and Latin-American stories and human creators. I hope to get to see them in real life someday.

Leaving this so maybe it’s useful for someone out there c: If there’s anything you’d like to know, pls leave a comment

Por fin salió!!! Ojalá salga una versión en español pero si no, este es un librito muy amable para leerlo en inglés. Les dejo un poco de mi (des)orden para llegar a ideas,ver el libro publicado es la dichosa punta del iceberg, detrás hay un montón de procesos e ideas y experimentos y es lo que lo hace muy divertido y desafiante. Si tienes preguntas sobre partes que no mostré, dejalas en comentarios
Forever grateful with everyone involved in this project.
Happy Book Birthday!

I had this, in the deep side of my files, but I think is a good time to show it, Since today’s eclipse. Based on a dream I had a long time ago where lots of rows of beings passed through my path, each row had a different kind of being but everyone at the row was the same exact. I can’t remember how they looked in the dream but I was thinking about shrimps when I painted this. I love eerie and spooky stuff so I decided to draw that feeling.

He tenido sueños bien raros e interesantes, aunque últimamente no 🤔 y no creo dibujar los recurrentes que he tenido desde chica.
