end,

but not finished

HIDDEN

If you place a fern
under a stone
the next day it will be
nearly invisible
as if the stone has
swallowed it.

If you tuck the name of a loved one
under your tongue too long
without speaking it
it becomes blood
sigh
the little sucked-in breath of air
hiding everywhere
beneath your words.

No one sees
the fuel that feeds you.

idea

I made this sometime ago, it was an idea which nourished into a bigger one later on, still on it, it isn't a finished comp by any means, but wanted to put it out, too heavy for my computer.
The background is a picture I've found on flickr. Can't find it again.

wall painting

here is a couple of details and pics from the night.

Wall Painting

This was a very exciting project for me!!!
Jo and Sean, managing director and creative director, at Smoke and Mirrors (this is where I work) asked me to come up with a christmas illustration and to paint it onto 2 adjacent corner walls in our big 2nd floor area for a big party.
It was a challenge since I had not done anything at this scale before. Thanks a bunch to Kayla, Catie, Wei and Jo for their great help!! The whole process took 5 days. Approximately 11 meters by 5 meters. Acrylic.
First pic is an early photoshop illustration on top of layered wall photos, I added some other characters/things during the actual painting . The rest of the photos is from the wall, I'll post better ones soon.

Against War

Concept for personal short movie

something like a gift

don't know why but just felt like giving some flowers to... whoever would like to accept it.

Things to sketch out before bedtime

heshehe

This is an almost two year old painting I had finished in San diego. Painted on an ikea box.

work in progress

Started this a few months ago and just today worked on it a little bit more after a long break. Hopefully it will be closer to be finished next time I post it.

dazed and confused

Rough comp/sketch.This was an idea that came to me a few nights ago. I'll work on it when I have some time hopefully this weekend.

2008 started pretty busy, so here is something from a few years ago

You are invited!

something old from 2004.
this was a school project with a deadline of 2 days.

again some old things

from 2004
on some pretty small paper

from nowadays - weird world

again something old

yeah I know it feels like I started this blog thing as an adventure, felt the excitement and just let it go away, but it's not true. I've been dying to post some stuff lately, however my work tempo didn't literally allow me to do anything that way. So here is something old again, but something that I'd like to share with you all.
