    It’s high time I resurrect this poor thing of a blog, and try to keep it that way for a while. Although things got a bit stale around here (if not smelly) a whole lot of things happened in the real world.
    Moved in a new apartment, exposed myself to the mystifying perplexities of casting a fishing rod, taste bitter defeat in drawing contest by my seven-year-old nephew, grew a beard (of sorts), bought my first suit and became Best man. Twice.

    I had the best view while watching my two dearest friends tying the knot, the very same week! Of all the honorable duties I was entrusted with, one of them included a wedding invitation…


    work work work!

    I just realized how long it’s been since I last posted here. It’s so very typical in freelance work to be sitting on your ass only to be swamped in deadlines the following second. That’s exactly where I was for more than a month now. and by the end of each day the last thing I wanted was to sit in front of a screen a little bit longer. Although I am not out of the storm just yet, there was a nice break from work during this weekend due to the Comicdom con which was excellent and had the chance to hang around with friends and relax. I did this Joker piece as part of a small exhibition held inside the convention where 12 creators had the chance to draw a superhero or villain of their choice. Well, here is mine… now back to work.

    Contribution

    I recently had the chance to meet and talk with Patricio Betteo, an amazingly talented artist from Mexico. Don’t take my word for it though, check his beautiful work for yourself.
    Patricio was kind enough to ask me for a small contribution for his on line project, posting a new illustration per day (intimidating too I might add for a lazy bum like me) and this is what I came up with. Pay a visit over there and enjoy the scenery.

    Thanks Patricio!

    Gotham blues

    Found this while looking for something else, and thought I might share it. Some time back I had this idea completely out of the blue, for a Batman short story, which is unusual since I am not such a fan of the whole genre (although admitably Batman is cool). I did write it eventually but all sorts of things piled up on top of it that had to be done, so it didn’t get made and eventually it was forgotten. I did make some sketches though. Here is one of them.
