Pearl Jam: The Kids Are Twenty

I really wanted to draw something to celebrate +Pearl Jam’s 20th anniversary.  The title is a reference to The Who’s 'The Kids Are Alright' (1979) rockumentary and it’s also the title for the alternate version of Cameron Crowe’s film, ‘Pearl Jam Twenty’ (2011).  The concept is an homage to John Holmstrom and Gus McDonald‘s cover art for the Ramones' 'Road To Ruin' (1978).  And yeah, I listened to a lot of Pearl Jam, The Who, and Ramones while drawing it.  This doodle was featured in Golpeavisa’s Viernes de Ilustración: Musical art jam, which was a lot of fun to be part of.

Tenía muchas ganas de dibujar algo para celebrar el 20 aniversario de Pearl Jam. El título es una referencia al rockumental de The Who, 'The Kids Are Alright' (1979) y también es el título de la versión alterna de la película de Cameron Crowe, 'Pearl Jam Twenty' (2011). El concepto es un homenaje al are de portada por  John Holmstrom and Gus McDonald para el disco 'Road To Ruin’ (1978) de Ramones.  Y si, escuché mucho a Pearl Jam, The Who, y Ramones cuando lo dibuje.  Este dibujo fue incluido en el art jam Viernes de Ilustración: Musical de Golpeavisa, en el cual me dio mucho gusto participar.

I also put together these posters for each character:

También hice estos posters para cada personaje:

Cheers!

正義 (Justice)

I made this doodle for COMCOM's "Samurai" Art Jam.  There are so many varieties of Samurai armor, and they are so colorful and beautiful and complex, that the challenge for me was to simplify that by using the less number of shapes and colors to translate it into cartoon form.  Also, I wanted to try coloring with a mono-chromatic scheme.  In this project I only used variations of yellow for the armor, but decided to paint the mask red, just like the “rising sun” background.

Zorras Del Mal 2

I made this follow-up to last year's "Zorras Del Mal".  Hope you like it!  Happy Halloween, everybody!!!

Don't Be Afraid

I made this doodle for COMCOM’s Monster Art Jam.  I really like rock concert silkscreen posters; so, some inspiration on this piece came from that.  The “Pink Elephants on Parade” sequence from Disney’s ‘Dumbo’ (yeah, the one where he’s drunk having a bad trip) was definitely another influence.  I wanted to give it a dream-like feeling and have the monster be really big.  The little girl holding a lollipop came as an afterthought, when I needed something to show the size of the monster.  I remembered how my little 2-year-old niece is not afraid of anything, and started playing with the idea of the monster being more scared of the little girl that she is of it. The title, “Don’t Be Afraid”, is actually what the little girl is saying to the monster.
