Chemicals are taking over.

Oh, my precious little time to work on the comic…

The weekend is almost over...

But I still got time…

Current frame in progress.

And here I go… continuing my small but very time consuming project. M.

Pencils done... now let's ink.

Another frame in progress. Now with the main lines in place, inking becomes the fun part… almost like painting.
Cheers!

Hey, remember that spaceship?

Now the whole frame is complete revealing the futuristic atmosphere. I'm not a big fan of busy scenes but some times those are necessary to situate the audience.

Cheers!

Suddenly... a spaceship!

Tiny detail in one of my frames...
A quick and dirt spaceship... and I like it! Cheers!

Back on track?...We'll see...

Oh boy, it's been a while without any new posts... but that has a reason... new baby at home and a lot of work in the office so let's see if I can keep up with new drawings this year.
Cheers.

Broken left arm.

Probably you don't know but I'm left hand... and Why is this so significant? Well, on July 24th I broke my left arm after a wipeout skateboarding. On July 25th I had surgery and they put it back as you can see here (Special Thanks to Dr.Tamim Umran and his team at Saint Paul's Hospital):



So it has been almost 30 days since the accident and I'm about to start doing physiotherapy but the doctor said we are not quite there yet... first bone, muscles and tissue have to regenerate properly and only then we move on... Most of the time my arm is immobilized... but I can totally feel my hand and move all my fingers... I can't lift my arm, nor do any of the basic moves, there's little pain but I can hold a pen...

So what I did this weekend? I positioned my arm over the table and doing very short movements, basically just using my hand with no arm movements involved I tried to draw again... For my surprise I felt very good and carried on... as the result I was able to finish one more page for my comic book project! Usually I don't like posting an entire page... you know... to keep the surprise, but this time is different... sounds like a big victory! and a relief...

I've thought I would never be able to draw again...


Thanks for stopping by.

And we move on...

Another frame for tonight. I had planed to do a simple sketch but the more I worked on this the more I liked it... and here it is.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another batch of work

I'm sure you would like to look at those pages in a bigger format... but you'll have to wait. The story is not done yet, in fact I still have a long way to go and can't reveal much, however I'm glad to share something here. The ultimate goal is to publish the story on paper, via an established publisher or independently but I really want you to have a copy in your hands to enjoy the storytelling, all the details, texture and richness that unfortunately are lost on the computer screen. The print version of my previous work entitled Savings Account is way richer than the online version available here at TopShelf.

Thanks for stopping by.

Fine line.

To conclude the week.

Cheers.

Please carry on...

Another page in progress.

Ready, set, go!

2010 has come! A new decade begins and all systems are go!

Two steps.

Two different moments in the same drawing...

New batch of work.

Ok, so new bits and pieces here. I'm working on page 12 out of 60 so there's still a long run ahead but with dedication, discipline and focus I hope to have it sooner than later... still can't promise when it will be done since the advertising world consumes the biggest chunk of my life.

Thanks for stopping by.

Another page concluded... moving on!
