West temple

This is an illustration of the West temple that I did for a client. It's very different from what I usually do. I hope u like it!

little sketches from my sketchbook

These are from my sketchbook. I have a lot more, but I was only able to scan these two. I'll keep the rest for later :)

some life drawings

 I've been taking Dave Lebow's class this semester and I've enjoyed it very much. It's been helping me draw a little better. These are not great, but I'm always embarrassed of posting my life drawings, so I will do it today for a change.

My Searle in America contribution

Hi Friends! Pixar's story artist Matt Jones is curating a show called "Searle in America" which will be happening from November 16- March 30th at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco! You all should totally check it out! There will be a lot of unpublished pieces by Searle! 
This is my (Mexican) contribution to the show which will be in auction during the opening of the show on November 20th.

 Here's the link to the website where you can read Matt's statement and find out more info:

watermelons

I did a little thank you card for my friend Rae because she's very sweet. So, I painted watermelons for her because I like green and red lately.

Life sketches

I never really post my sketches from class, but I decided I'll make an effort to post more life sketches and development sketches as opposed to just the final pieces.  I hope you like them, friends!

Mambo girl

 it's a mambo girl!!!!! more to come! 

vampire girl

 This is a very mean vampire who pretends to be very nice. She died a long time ago and came back to kill every man on earth. 

Flower pots

Hello! 

I made some cards for some of my friends at work. They're very small and I wish I could have made enough for every single person I met, but time here goes by so quickly, I don't know why!

I hope you like them, friends!

Here's another quick sketch of a girl

sexy girl

Hi! I haven't updated my blog in a REALLY long time! Sorry, friends!

 I finally had a little break from work. PIXAR IS AWESOME!!!  I never want to leave and I am very thankful for this experience and for the amazing people God put on my way. Everyone is so so talented and nice up here, it only makes me realize how much more there is to learn. I feel like the artists around me are like the cool monsters in MU and I'm the little Mike Wazowski, I look up to these people so much! 

Anyway... Here's a quick sketch of a sexy girl.  I hope you like it! 

It's summertime!

 I'm finally done with school! WOOH! time to get some rest and (hopefully) clean the house, play with my dog, explore LA, watch my own selection of films, go to the Cinefamily to all their cool screenings, roll around on the grass, finally use our pool to swim, read a book, DRAW, etc etc etc! I'm also so excited because in about 2 weeks I will reunite with some of my friends from back home (Mexico) in VEGAS! So that should be fun! I'm not a big fan of Vegas but I like the shows and the good company so I'm super stoked!

 Here is a little illustration of a girl in a summer dress

screenprinting!

These are pictures from my screenprinting process. It always takes me so long but at the end it's so rewarding. I forgot to take pictures of what the final cards look like, but you I hope you get the idea :) 

hello

 Hello!! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything in a while, I have been WAY too busy with school assignments, etc. Also, I GOT THE PIXAR INTERNSHIP FOR ART!! (VIS DEV) So obviously I'm very excited and happy and humbled and grateful and WOWOWOW! I can't wait to be up there and draw and paint and learn, etc! I also heard they have a pool hehe! andddd the best part... the internship starts on my birthday! I'll miss everyone I won't see during the summer like my friends and family back at home and my puppy Benny and Ryno! but hopefully I will reunite with everyone at the end of the summer for at least a couple weeks :)

PS: I went to coachella a few weeks ago and had a blast! here are some pictures! Better late than never.

Amsterdam bikes

I love the abandoned bikes in Amsterdam that have ornaments on them. I don't know why people do that, but they're beautifullllll!

Bathroom

 This is a background I've been working on for a while. I don't think I'm done but I wanted to share it because it's been too long. :)

Portfolio day is next week, I'm so stressed and nervous and scared.... but I'm also happy because I love Calarts and my family hehe 

Business cards!

My friend Pedro ( http://pedrolavin.com ) helped me design my business cards and I love them! getting ready for portfolio day!

I also designed this little country girl. I still have to explore this character for Phil's class, so hopefully I'll post more of her soon! I'm loving the flower transparency! hehe
