FORTUNE - Perrito STRIPES

2007-04-18T09:13:00.001-05:00

I was thinking when in the metro, on this topic, fortune and then i remembered i missed the Green topic too and then also I saw this lost doggie on the street and rememberes of Sponge Bob and so and so.

At the end when I finished sketching this was the final work =D perhaps doesn't say much, but it's what came of my pen.

Ok I've been without a scanner for a while that's why it's getting slower, i mean my illustrations, however these days besides writing I've been doing little art craft. These are the first samples, hey I'm starting don't be too hard on me :D

Yes, they look blur, because you know... protecting my little precious :P

But look the new ones I swear I think I'm improving I will post it in another window..

Hope, what for?

2007-01-31T15:25:00.000-05:00

I'm not expecting everyone to like this Illustration, I did it a couple of years ago, and I was thinking about my poem "Hope", I would like to remember what was I thinking when I wrote it and when I designed this. Though I do know what it represents, perhaps nothing for the rest of you.

Again, hope, what for?

Super Heroe! SuperEmo!

2007-01-23T10:33:00.000-05:00

I was sketching last night thinking on my heroe, and I guess it would be SuperEmo because he saved? hahahah Just Kidding, indeed I did was skething last night and I love SuperMan and anyother super heroe even SpongeBob is a great Super heroe but I started drawing this little fellow and at the end I came out with this idea, that and of course I like to bother my sister since she loves emo!

Estaba boceteando anoche pensando en mi héroe, y supongo que sería SuperEmo porque él salvó el...? jajajaaj Solo bromeo, en verdad si estaba boceteando anoche y si yo adoro Superman y también otro super héroe sería Bob Esponja, pero empecé fue dibujando este chiquito y al final terminé con esta idea, eso y claro me gusta molestar a la Wendz que le encantan los Emos jaaj!

Illustration "80's"

2007-01-15T18:06:00.001-05:00

80's was the topic this week and I believe the 80's were so much more than weird music, and weird hair, the 80's had some great cartoons, who doesn't remember the Transformers, Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbrow Brigte, etc. But it also has events that will change the future of the world.

Just take a look on Wikipedia or some other encyclopedia and you will see what I'm talking about.

hugs,

-----------------------------------------------

Los ochentas 80's fue el tema de esta semana y pienso que los 80's fue una época mucho más que solo música y peinados raros, también tenían las mejores caricaturas! (a gusto personal eh!) quién no recuerda los Transformers, Rosita Fresita, Rainbow Brite, etc. Pero en esta época también ocurrieron eventos que cambiaron el futuro del mundo.

Solo infórmate un poco en Wikipedia o en alguna otra enciclopedia y verás a lo que me refiero.

abrazos,

W I N D Illustration Friday

2006-11-06T11:44:00.000-05:00

Its funny, first, the topic is wind, but the last one is smoke, and then i cant think in one without thinking in th other one, probably cuz I smoke, but anyways, I thought also in Alice in Wonderland, my 3rd favorite cartoon, and the butterfly big worm, was smoking, and eventhough it was exhaling or inhaling, its cheeks were huge!!!!

So, but I cant say, smoke, so i guess its a positive image... my mom said it was creepy:(

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY "opposites"

2006-07-23T20:49:00.000-05:00

IVent been around lately, I dunno, Ill try to design past topics, I promise ill try.

Its kinda crazy this idea, first i was thinking greatest classic on opposites as Leo u know evil and good, satan jesus, hell and heaven, so i started with that background, and then I realized i dont even know if thats the concept of opposites I understand.

So i just chose a moment of the day in the one i believed someone i was chatting with is or was, who knows, opposite of what he thinks or says he is.

But well just a design, thanx for stopping by.

hugggs,

h e l e n a

did u miss me? LOL

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY "angels and devils"

2006-05-18T07:31:00.000-05:00

As I always say, its all relative. Who has the real truth? Who can tell whats good or evil, the same goes with angels and devils topic.

I guess the first that came to my mind was that all the time we are both, not at the same time probably but we do are sometimes angels and sometimes devils, we blame demons but Im not sure about that one, I just think we are different, we are humans.

Tschüs.

H e l e n a

PS: I won't explain my illou again, i have decided just to write a thought but no explanation. muaxes!

-------------------------

Bueno, tomé una foto de mis pies y luego me percaté de que existe gente que le gustan y saben (fetiches y cosas raras) y eso me asustó leve, así que escogí trabajar la fotografía en fotoshop mejor y bueno es una ilustración sencilla, peor me gusta mi composición.

ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY "song"

2006-02-17T19:28:00.000-05:00

Well, to be honest with you Im not too much into music, im always listening what people listen, my Leo friend likes indi rock and some other stuff i enjoy it, joel too, and my brother and sister, different types of musics.

So when I read song as the topic for today I just thought about the classic one moms sing to children, I dont remember but I bet my mom did too, so this is one of the ways how i expressed way I see "SONG".

Thanx.

Today is Cholk and is a terrible day...

2006-02-16T14:24:00.000-05:00

Last night was pretty cool though, I went out with Fanny to get her prize for winning second place on 15 secs drag racing. We had a lot of free beers and stuf, of course it was a beer factory if thats how you call it, and well it was cool.

After that we picked up Kathe and met with Joel, Josch and Richard at Taverna21, Fanny and I were damn hungry and they sold us like $6.00 sausages which were fine but were like 4 little pieces sux!!!

Anyways, because Fanny and I were drinking before everyone like 3 hours before actually and free beers!!!!!!!!!!! we were kinda "happy" hahaha and at the end fanny had to go home cuz she had to work today early mornning, josch and richard continue the party who knows where and Joel and I went home and..... hahahah

Today I feel terrible and not because of the beers, but because of the smokes I had last night, i realized i really cant just like smoke once a month is even worse than smoking 1 ciggarrete a day, i feel terrible and Im home and Idont even want to design anything today I feel too bad for even listing music.

Thats it...

Thanx!

CHECK THE PIC AT THIS WEBSITE www.mundorpm.com/images/PImage00017.jpg
