Me había olvidado de mi primer libro para colorear. La idea surgió de una experiencia más bien mala, estos dibujos estaban pensados para ser un regalo, pero terminaron como un libro para colorear para que todos lo vieran. Como sabes, mi obsesión son las plumas y los picos, y dibujé 48 pollos diferentes. Los librosContinue reading “Welcome to the Flock!”

Floral cord
This piece took several months because I was finding a way to make flowers look like a spinal cord. I drew the background first and then I mounted the paper flowers and the little hummingbird. There is a lot of similarities in nature and I want to say we’re all very much alike: flowers, plants,Continue reading “Floral cord”

Rabid fans still long for his presence… but that’s aContinue reading “Music and Words”
