Animation time lapse of Sunny Octopus acrylics painting
This is a time lapse animation of my painting “Sunny Octopus”. I took pictures with my phone while painting it through out a week and put them together in After Effects. The Painting is a custom acrylics painting for a 5 year old girl. In it I created an ocean world with her favorite animals: an octopus, fish, doggie and cat.

Custom character art & design for art commissions
My first non-digital non-computer art commissions. Custom character art and design for two acrylic paintings for two girls rooms in 10×14 canvas. One based on a Jungle and the other based on the Ocean. In this video I explained how I painted both acrylic paintings and about each character design.

My first non digital painting commissioned done!!
Even though I’ve been creating, designing, illustrating forever, it has mainly been digital. I’m really enjoying painting with acrylics and this is my first non digital acrylics painting commissioned by a very special girl. Meet her below with her jungle of cartoon characters:

Minidog & Sunny Octopus go to the sandbar
We rescued a doggie last Friday right in front of the marina. And… he ended up staying with us. His name is Minidog. My cats are slowly getting used to him, but still hissing at him a lot. We took him in the boat to the sandbar (with life jacket! hahaha) and he took a swim for the first time in his life. Here is him jumping from the boat and the amazing sunny octopuses (animated octopus cartoon characters) that were swimming with us in the ocean:

New Original Illustration Artwork by Aleloop
Just finished new Original Illustration “Dreaming Happy”!!
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.

Pictures of my art studio
Welcome to my yellow world!! This is my studio in Coconut Grove:
This is my wonderful view and my computer. It makes me very happy to look at the green palm trees and the pool.

This is my drafting table to draw, paint and sculpt characters

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 some of my character based graphic tees, the crazy robot is on the front of course! click here to see more about them see TV and newspaper interviews in my media page. And on the wall I painted 2 character cats that I’ve been drawing non stop for a few months now.
These are my graphic tees and my characters
Here are some of my toys, Boomerang lamp and lunch box from when I was working at the Cartoon Network, some family pics, a couple of screen printed gift boxes, some of my design awards up there and 2 stop motion armatures I built a while a go and are awesome!

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:

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!)
