This is my SUPER “Nostalgic Robot” Acrylic Painting. I absolutely love how this painting come out. When I drew this version of Mikko (robot name) I imagined him remembering a great moment in his life in that beautiful blue and pink world that made him very very happy.

This is an 11×14 canvas board acrylic painting. It will be framed in a couple of days with a big black ornate metallic frame that will look awesome. It’s for sale framed at my Etsy store!

Mikko, my robot, is a robot prototype gone bad that escaped from an MIT lab and hasn’t been reported missing by any of his creators. He thinks everything belongs to him and wants to get it all back. No matter what! He has stolen lollipops from little girls, supermarket bags from old ladies and a toothbrush from the President’s personal bathroom itself! Dangerous but fun to be around!

A giant Iguana on my roof

You know I like sharing with you my personal Zoo that I live surrounded by in Coconut Grove.
So here!
After many!
Many months in the hiding!
The Giant Iguana re-appeared on my roof in a ninja move!
Awesome stripped tail was wearing today and green that was exactly as the foliage around it.

I think I’m turning Peacock, I really think so

In Coconut Grove we have 2 families of Peacocks living in the neighborhood. This week, one of the families decided to stay with us!

So for your inspiration, here they are:

Do you have those days where you are just blocked, low energy and can’t get yourself to work? I think you are missing some ‘inspiration’. Inspiration is that spark that turns you on and all your creative energy just flows. It’s like magic when it happens.

It’s very important to recognize when you are lacking that inspiration so you can be productive and creative whenever you need to be.

It’s a very good practice to create some sort of a system to recognize when you are in need of some inspiration, so you can do something about finding it back.

How do you recognize when you need inspiration? When you just can’t get yourself to do some work, when you feel low in energy, when you feel blocked, you just can’t create, write, or do whatever you gotta do.

What can you do about finding some inspiration? Take a moment to think and write down 10 things that exite you, turn you on, you find fascinating, you love. Take that list and tape it to your monitor and when you recognize that lack of energy, look at the list and do or look at just 1 of those things 10 things. Take a little brake and do it. You’ll see how quickly your creative juices come back and you are on top of everything.

If you discover new things that inspire you, add them to the list immediately. Think of that list like your treasure of inspiration that you can go back to and recharge. And if you travel a lot, keep the list in your computer or your phone so you can access it at anytime.

What inspires me? I’m inspired by my cats, when I swim, specially if it’s outdoors, by looking at some artists art, by going to the zoo.

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.

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:

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.
