Another entry for @rmayani #6hexcodes week. This cool palette was handpicked by talented @wonderfall I’m not gonna lie, I struggled with finding a good contrast balance in the composition; I was this👌 close to cheat and use a darker color for shadows, but I finally stopped whining and went with the purple for the outlines. 👾 (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHojDnWH5w2/?igshid=1joxt9yb6j20b

My buddy-fellow Mexican brother from Vancouver @rmayani invited me to create a color palette for his #6hexcodes challenge. I was super honoured to be picked because you know... he’s the man. For my color palette theme I chose the word “transition” We all have been going through a lot of changes this year and it hasn’t been easy to go back in track to a safe mental space with all the stuff going on around us. I’m hoping to see other artists sharing their personal journey through their art and hopefully use this as an opportunity to share experiences and express support to the ones in need, after all, we all have been there. For me, moving to a different country In the middle of a pandemic was super tough, but the fact that this was a global phenomenon, made me realized that being vulnerable was a natural process I had to go through in order accept the circumstances I was going through... Anywhoo... i hope what I said made any sense hahaha (that’s why I don’t have Facebook 🙃) join the challenge and tag me in your illustrations. Hugs and kisses 😘 haha (at Manhattan, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHGEK39jSK0/?igshid=1jack39ipoxnn

Finally I’m able to share this one as part of a series of illustrations I did along with my homie @holatania a while ago. All these were done for the Japanese company caster biz as part of a special branding project. Thanks to @ayumit0 and @t_i_1207 for trusting me. This was definitely a fun project! #retro #retrostyle #retroillustration #illustration #vintage #vintageillustration #80s #80sstyle (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGN8hDLjP9U/?igshid=g5dt0bpvg30t

Almost too often I get people asking me to design their Ep or LP covers, but I rarely have time to take on these type of projects. It is also very common for these artists to have very little to no budget at all, so In order to support these new talented bands/Djs/artists, I’d like to give away this original artwork for any upcoming release your music project may have. The only requirement is that it needs to be something it hasn’t been released yet. Send the link to this post to anybody that might have a good use for this illustration. THIS IS NOT A CONTEST, just send me a link to your track/ album to my dm and I will pick the best fit for the piece. Yes, I will select the winner 100% based on the music, so it doesn’t matter if you’re the first or you’re within the first top 5 etc etc etc. I’m not sure if this is going to work so I’m going to have a short deadline for this one. I’ll announce the chosen one this Wednesday... **If no one wants it, I’m still going to pretend I got tons of messages and that I will have to extend the deadline. 😛 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZx-0-jivV/?igshid=1mtowlot63fhw

This one was done @runwiththegoldenwolf I did this almost 7 months ago, right after I moved to NY. There are no pigeons emojis, so here it is an owl 🦉 (at Golden Wolf) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFNo5MojhiV/?igshid=1go7ea6woo1np

Another one from the CasterBiz collection. A collaboration with homs @holatania. We are preparing something cool. Hopefully we’ll be able to share it soon! #retro #retroaesthetic #retrostyle #retroillustration #retroart #vintagestyle #illustration #itsnicethat #hand #keyboard #juxtapose #retromodern (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGQ8UYIjBvw/?igshid=1raqbt4945kl9

Finally! I worked on these a while ago and they’re finally out for the snakes x ladders second year. Thanks to the people at @snakesxladders for being top clients and giving us an open room for exploration. Always nice to work for these folks. Snakes X Ladders is a platform that connects south Asian creatives through music and live shows. The core of their mission is to promote desi artists on the global stage. 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_f0F1qDlRW/?igshid=7vewcq0tcwha

Another old-ish style frame. I made this one while recovering my vision. It took me longer than I expected and had to do the color correction months later as I was seeing the colours a bit off. I also used some free 3D models for the buildings geometry because I suck at drawing perspectives. . . . . #illustration #character #design #greaser #demon #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B7XheLfDMeV/?igshid=16iwbnpc3wowp
