New exhibition coming soon: EXQUISITE CADAVER

Hello dears! how have you been? Hope you're doing great!

For me, changing times are abroad and i feel like i'm on a boat, up and down on waves! :-)

I feel really excited tho, and hope new times come soon! 

Today i want to share with you a new exhibition i'm collaborating in with many other artists, THE EXQUISITE CADAVER (if you want more info about what an exquisite cadaver is, take a look to this link ).

We're going to inaugurate the expo THIS THURSDAY, and i'm super excited!

Also, to fulfill the room, we were asked to work on individual pieces working on tributes for famous corpses. And the Ofelia from John Everett Millais was my choice.

For sure you know her:

And this was my work process...

That leads to this finished piece (if you want to see more details, click to make it bigger):

What do you think? i'm very pleased with this illustration, i think it turned out so well!!

Can't wait to share pics of the expo so you can see our EXQUISITE CORPSES together! 

SUPER HUUUUG!!

Family times

Those days i'm working on a different style/concept that i'm used to...

I'm quite enjoying it but i'd love to add more of my wavy "forms".

Those days i'm over thinking  a lot and i really want the time to come to dedicate full time to my joy and inspiration = ILLUSTRATION.

That's right! on Feb. i'm starting my FULL TIME FREELANCE CAREER! So excited!!! 

My head is so full of ideas and projects and TIME TO MAKE ALL HAPPEN! yaiiiiiii!!!

Also, i got a new tattoo this weekend, it's a pairing tattoo with my best friend Laia, we've been sharing house for 7 months now and because all of those changes all is going to end very soon...
