Dreaming Happy by Aleloop

New character art digital illustration “Dreaming Happy” by Aleloop. First of a new series of character art. About 6 months ago, I decided to spot watching, listening or reading the news because they made get depressed. My only contact with ‘real’ reality is the news game show in NPR Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, where I learn the most important stuff going on while laughing. Happy is dreaming happy is inspired by this times of economic crisis, it’s me living in my own world dreaming happy.

These are 4 gyclee canvas prints I did at @imagekind. I printed them also on paper a little bit bigger. These are from a series very different to everything I do with characters. The main theme is what women are about. These are original digital art, drawn in the computer and are a mix of intricate women drawings and a collage of elements.

These are one of my two sets of black butterflies, with a canvas print of my Chihuahuas characters and Cartoon Network clock. I love the black butterflies, when I look at them, is like they take me flying to a wonderful world with them.

This is the other set of black butterflies next to my computer. I find them like if they are magical beings that are still and in silence next to me.

And at last, here are my beautiful (dog like behavior) two and half cats hanging out outside. They walk with me to the studio like if they are dogs, and stay with me pretty much all day in the studio either eating, asking for attention, sleeping or asking me to walk with them back home. These are Orbit, Mundo and Minicat:

Definitely the aliens in Marvin the Martian were designed after peacocks. Here they are hanging out in my yard about 10 of them:

Creating an Etsy Store!

This week I’m super busy creating an Aleloop Etsy Store with hand printed graphic tees and funny underwear I’ve created. Here is a little pick of what I’m doing:

.

Keeping a video library for motion graphics, motion design, animation and broadcast design projects

Hello!

In this video I talk about the importance of keeping a video library, how it can help any illustrator, designer, motion graphics artist, motion designer, animator or broadcast designer save a lot of time when getting new projects with quick turns arounds. I shot it at the beautiful Biltmore Hotel, here in Coral Gables during a weekend retreat to plan the rest of the year (I know! so much work, but it was great!)

New Original Art

Hand Drawn Nature : Fire

Hand Drawn Nature : Fire

Just finished new original art. This is a digital illustration gyclee printed on canvas. I’m doing a series of illustration without characters. I’m not sure where these are coming from in my imagination, they kind of don’t look like made by me, but they are inside of me too. It’s a series about nature, women and the elements. I started drawings these right after I recovered from being so sick for so many months together with the characters. And now I’m finally finishing them up. I put them up in my aleloop art store in ImageKind if you want one.
