The evolution of my drawings...

I have always loved to draw. that was perhaps the reason why I never got any good grades back in my school, I was busy drawing... I used to draw some really nasty things... the cartoonists in Mexico have always been a little explicit, and coming from the liberal mexican family that I come from, we would get newspapers like "La Jornada" with cartoons like these:

Which was perfectly suitable for boys around that age. Boys at that age, love to see tits, violence and chaos, change my mind, I dare you... anyway. 

Problem was that my drawings were bad, or maybe not that bad, maybe with the same style that this cartoonist (Trino) is drawing, which is not very "aesthetic".

Around that age, japanese cartoons were invading our children's minds. There was this little boy who loved to draw the "caballeros del zodiaco" which was really popular in Mexico, that and the simpsons, and the human mind is wonderful, you grow when you meet new people, you grow when you meet new things in life: comics, series, movies, etc. He helped me a lot into having a new style of drawing.


And then you can be a great artist with a pen and a piece of paper, and nowadays there's also the digital drawing, and I know that I still have a long way to go, but I wanted to share with you, strange online companions, my different set of drawings that I have been creating for the purpose of the promotion of my book (I feel that I put so many of's),


These I made them with Gimp... Back when I thought that Gimp was a good option, Vadralisk on top, and stone troll under it... The only thing I like from gimp is that the splines are really easy to make.

Then I discover other options, photoshop, and some other option from Autodesk (I don't remember its name)



And that leaves us until today, where I am using Krita,

I would like to think that I'm getting better... Still! Today I was looking at the digital works of Piotr Jablonski (fucking awesome!), and I was hoping on some day being able to do such great things, one can always dream, right?

I am starting a blog today... Somehow, I think that it will help me out with my book selling (which is at zero right now) This is the book I got from Amazon, it is a "proof" book. I was so happy when I first got it, and then as always, you start checking the little details. In this case, the margin is not properly cut, and it did have some minor details on my behalf, e.g. I did have two repeated 21 chapters, and many little inconsistencies everywhere. My father told me that it was ok, the most important thing was the contents, and yes, part of me agree with him, while the fascist part of me: the one that wishes to end all of humanity in a hellish ocean of fire, tells me that the devil is in the details. Both are right. So last night, I was correcting all these stupid minor details, that and at the same time I was fighting with my computer software. Let me explain: I love Microsoft Word, I grew working with the stupid program, it was the only option back then, r...

El muerto

This is my latest drawing. Theresa is the one in the middle. On her sides are her daughters. They have the purple hair, a particularity of the Ghost people : they are basically elves who excel at " ghost walking " and that is only another name for astral projections... I must confess: the stuff I can't do, I reflect it on my books. When I was doing my pH.D. my former girlfriend was kind into this (she got an aunt who was capable of "witchcraft"), so sometimes, they went and practice meditation and stuff like that. I tried and I tried, but my mind is too noisy, or I just give up and go to sleep, but I remember once, that I was dreaming, and on that dream, I found myself outside my parent's house. I remember that it was a clear fresh night, and everything was so vivid: the noises, the feeling, even the smells. And the only thing that I couldn't move was my body... my head was coming out from the street, other than that, it truly was like if I was ...

Tijuana

It's pretty dark, my eyes must be red, but I finished it... Eventually I will stop drawing and "advertising" everywhere... I need to also finish my second book (I have probably like two freaking pages of my new novel...) A guy from Facebook, told me that I should hire a good editor O.o He was complaining because of a typo . I went into his FB account, he even wrote a post complaining about Harry Potter... he is also an author, but like me, not really famous, not really relevant. Enough of this shit , I was going to tell you, my fellow strangers, about prostitution . When you hit puberty, you have only one passion in your life, at least for me was fantasizing about women. All kinds, all races, and porno. You need tons and tons of porno, lube as well, but your saliva will do. The addicting sensation of masturbating, a lot, is something that you will experience once in your life, and probably every boy hitting puberty in all different kind of regions ...
