Some updates

Woah, I can´t believe how fast time goes by, I haven´t uploaded since September, alot of things have happened during that time, anyway this year looks like it´s going to be very busy, with alot of great projects coming up and some of them will be with close friends, it´s always nice to team-up with people you cherish and respect, but also that you can trust, here are the projects I´ll be taking care of during the next two months:

The Jungle Book: This is the third time in a row I team-up with my pal Gerardo Sandoval, this time we are taking care of a new children´s adaptation of this classic story, I´ve seen the first 40 pages so far and Gerardo´s style changed a bit, instead of realistic he went to a toon style, and the way he draws animals is amazing, because of the personality he gives to each and every one of them, the cover and character spread are already done but as soon as I´m allowed to show them I won´t post a preview yet.

The Wizard of Oz: Now this is a very cherished project, this time I´ll be joining with another talented artist and friend, Jorge Break, this is the first "manga" book published by Stonearch Books and I hope we can do even more for them in the future. Another thing why I´m very excited about working on a new children´s adaptation of the Wizard of Oz is because my dear mother is a huge fan of the story, so there is alot of feelings being used in the creation of this book.

Fighting Spirit.- Jackie Robinson and Jim Thorpe: These are two different books from a series called Fighting Spirit illustrated by canadian talent Claude Saint Aubin. These are not biographical books but instead stories of regular people struggling in life but inspired by these two great sportmen.

Also Jason and the Golden Fleece is already being sold all across of the United States, you can find them at Barnes & Noble, Amazon, or Books-A-Million by using the ISBN 978-1-4342-1172-9 , here I´ll share some of my favorite panels from the book.



I think this is all for now, but more news and previews are on the way, cheers !!!

Jason and the Golden Fleece

Right now I´ve began production on Jason and the Golden Fleece graphic novel for Stonearch Books, my pal Gerardo Sandoval is doing such a great work on the pencils, here you can see a preview on the cover, sorry for the watermarks but they´re there to prevent art theft, once the book is published (in a couple of months) I´ll update with a better resolution and watermark free file.

En este momento comencé la producción de la novela gráfica Jason and the Golden Fleece para Stonearch Books, mi compa Gerardo Sandoval está haciendo un increible trabajo con los trazos, aquí les tengo un previo de lo que será la portada, aunque espero me disculpen por las marcas de agua, pero son para prevenir robo de arte, una vez que se publique el libro ( en un par de meses ) actualizaré el archivo en una versión sin marca de agua y mayor resolución.

Weekend madness !


Every time I finish the projects I´m working on before a weekend I always make plans to rest for the next following days, but they always get screwed when I´m asked for urgent works that need to be delivered as soon as possible, which is the case right now, goodbye my plans on playing Battlefield Bad Company all weekend long, hello tons of work. Anyway here´s a preview of my latest project for Stonearch Books, a graphic novel adaptation of Jason and the Golden Fleece, art by my friend Gerardo Sandoval. Enjoy your weekend, if you can !.

Siempre que termino mis proyectos en los que trabajo antes de un fin de semana, comienzo a hacer planes para los siguientes dias, pero por una u otra razón tienden a cambiar cuando me piden trabajos de urgencia que deben entregarse lo mas pronto posible, cosa que me acaba de suceder, adios planes de jugar Battlefield Bad Company todo el fin de semana, hola toneladas de trabajo. En fin les dejo un previo de mi mas reciente proyecto para Stonearch Books, una adaptación infantil de la novela Jason y el Bellocino Dorado, dibujado por mi compadre Gerardo Sandoval. Disfruten de su fin de semana, si es que pueden !

Hace unos meses mi compa Ray Height me invitó a participar en una historia de cuatro páginas del personaje Astro Girl de la serie Wildguard, creada por Todd Nauck, pero para mi sorpresa, fuí contactado por el mismísimo autor de la serie para invitarme a que coloreara las portadas de los tres números de la serie, y juntas forman un enorme poster ! Me sentí muy honrado por dicha invitación y acepté, me sentí muy contento por esta oportunidad, pues he sido fan del trabajo de Todd desde ya hace tiempo. Los tres tomos ya están a la venta, que esperan ? Muestrenos un poquito de cariño :D
