First of all, I think I owe an explanation to whoever cares a bit about what I post here & appreciates my stuff of why I have been absent since October, or November, cant remember. And the main reason is because I´ve got a job at an office supply store near my house, and I´m working 6 days a week and that sucks, I kinda need the job anyway so guess I´m stuck between the wall and the sword, as some say ´round here...

Also there was all that holiday hype this last month & I got stuck in all that stuff...

I had a couple of not that successful projects that went on around that time, that was kind of a blow for an already crumbling ego.

Then... I did won something last month, mi illustration "VERSATILITY" ( [link] ) won a contest by "C&A" (or Clemens & August) in Mexico, It was about designing a gift card for each department of the store, I participated in the "kids" category AND WON, i got this gift card with a couple thousand of mexican pesos, and an express trip to the city of Guadalajara, where the awards were given, that rocked.

And then, here I am, post New years eve, a whole new year ahead and with nothing posted...

Have a couple of illustrations I´ll eventually share of one of the failed projects, Plus I´m working on an illustration in Painter that is looking good but far from finished...

Guess I have to get used to this (new?, provisional?) phase in my life, find me some time to do what I do best & survive this hard life.

Thanks to all those who care, wish me luck.

Hope to keep up with this gallery and all you friends in this virtual community.
