Sketch 25


Sketch 25 #Inktober #Tintubre, panel 6 Mouse Story. Mouse looks around but instead of abundance of nuts, fruit, worms, etc. he sees giant wheel of cheese surrounded by gourmet crackers across the street. (I left the store signs and labels unlinked because I want to fill them in, later, in Photoshop in both English and Spanish. Also, not quite sure yet what those signs will say.)

Sketch 22

Falling a little bit behind. Sketch no. 22 ‪#‎Inktober‬ ‪#‎Tintubre‬ Mouse asking bird neighbors if any of them has a nice bit of blue veined cheese or a well aged cheddar along with some seasoned crackers--maybe with a bit of rosemary or sea salt, for breakfast that they would like to trade. Cheddar? Sea salt? If he's hungry there's a colony of fat grubs nearby. And some worms just down there....(Text still in process.)

Sketch no. 19


Sketch no. 19. Another super simple one. She kinda looks like Velma from the Scooby cartoons but she's actually a girl I saw in $bux. ‪#‎Inktober‬ ‪#‎Tintubre‬

Recently finished sketch

A squiggly sketchbook drawing I started ages ago of the cafe/libreria Libros del Pasaje and would work on from time to time. It's one of those drawings where I kept debating til the very end whether to cutify the characters or to keep them pretty much as I saw them.

Tintubre/Inktober

My first of, hopefully, many sketches for Inkober/Tintubre. Ideally I would draw one every day, but last night I found myself totally stressing out over which side project to spend more time on: that graphic novel I keep saying I'll write one day, that children's book I likewise keep saying I'll write and illustrate one day, those sketches and illustrations I want to add to my portfolio, those sketches I want to do just for the heck of it, a few other bright ideas I have as well as this, Inktober/Tintubre. Just because. 

And it's good practice. 

Okay, off to do some real work. And to make some soup and bread. (I love cold, rainy Sundays like this! So long as I'm inside where it's cozy. ☕️)

New photo prints

Most people who know me know how much I love photography. It began as a way to have my own collection of reference material but, when digital came along, it developed into a love of  photography as an art form. Recently, I opened a print shop on Society6 featuring my very favorite images. Please take a look! :)
