Some of my favourite countries are islands, part 3: Japan

Say hello to island number three: Lovely lovely Japan 日本!

One of my favorite countries ever, I must definitely go there before I die, and live there for a while if possible, that would make me happy :)

Here are some of the pictures of the process, I had a lot of fun doing this one. Enjoy! x

Character No. 1

Here's a sneak peek of a character I've been working on (only a color test). I think she might be japanese, even though her hairdo reminds me of Chun Li, and my mum said her shoes looked like baby shoes, hah, so I don't even know.
I'm still not sure of what I'm going to do with her, I'll probably make some stickers, that's for sure, but I feel like she's got potential to become something greater, hopefully I'll do her justice. x

Casita

I've always liked to draw houses and buildings, even though I'm not very good at it, I especially like isolated constructions, they give me a sense of melancholy and nostalgia, I quite like that. The house above is just a little sketch I did at midnight. And finally I'll share this song to complete the atmosphere. x

Some of my favourite countries are islands, part 2: Iceland

¡Isla número dos! Contrary to what the name might suggest, Iceland it's in fact, filled with mountains and beautiful green landscapes. Someday we will meet, promise.

Some of my favourite countries are islands, part 1: Australia

First entry of the latest project I'm working on. Some of the fishes are sad because they represent how sad I am to be so far away from Australia.

More islands coming soon x

Nostalgia, horrible nostalgia

Found these pictures of my old room in Bilbao. Hey there memories.

Postcard from (the past) Paris

 

Self portrait sort of thing remembering October 2011.

Make Believe

It's been a while since the last time I actually sat down to draw something, I've been so busy with lots of other activities (like a huge altar for Day of the Dead) that I didn't had the time to make a simple doodle, lame. But it's all over now! So expect updates a bit more often :)

Today, I found inspiration in Foals' stunning new single "Inhaler". I simply can't wait to hear the whole album, I just can't!

Disposable

Third October post, yessss, here are some of the pictures I took with a disposable from April to October. Just the usual stuff, friends, family, the city, my dog, ahhh I still can't believe how skinny my dog was! We adopted him 3 months ago and it's so great to see that he has recovered so well :)

I love disposable cameras, especially cause I usually don't remember what the heck I took pictures of, so it's nice to get your film developed and being surprised with all the memories.

Maccaweek

1. Orlando Weeks' interpretation of the mexican coat of arms
2. The Maccabees at IMER (Radio recording session. Picture by me.)

Can't wait to hear the final version of the session.

Wish List

Querida deidad de Octubre:
Como probablemente ya sabes, mi computadora murió, dejándome desamparada y sin ímpetu para seguir con mi vida y mi tésis, así que pido tu atenta ayuda para que me ayudes a conseguir un trabajo (porque no me gusta pedirle dinero a mis padres) y así poder costear un nuevo ordenador personal, con lo cual espero regresen mis ganas de ser productiva y así avanzar con mi investigación. Con tu ayuda espero titularme a mediados del año que viene, prometo esforzarme.

Ayuda.

Yours truly, Quetzallí.

(Google translate should do the job, also, there's no October goddess, I just made that up because I'm sad and helpless and unemployed and really confused about what do I want to do with my life)

Q is my favorite letter of the alphabet

 

there's no QUEEN without the "Q"

Somewhere in Oxford.

one of the prettiest cities I've had the pleasure to visit. locals were really nice and it was a cool place to spend new year's eve (the best so far actually), thanks Oxford, can't wait to go back.

Sketches 2

Drawings based on Mathieu Cesar's photography. His work is incredibly beautiful and inspiring.

Stuff from my sketchbook

Also, current favorite new song: "Cough Cough" by Everything Everything.

No one will wear my silver ring

"I'm not gonna marry in the fall

And I'm not gonna marry in the spring

I will never marry, marry at all

No one will wear my silver ring"

Forever a bachelorette

The online store is now open!

I've been dying to do this for a really long time, so I'm very pleased to announce that I finally have my own online store!

quetzaaa.bigcartel.com

So far there are only two products available, but I'll probably add more in the future, exciitiiinggg.

The first one is the Dancing Bear sticker set. I talked about this little friend of mine in an old entry a few months ago. He is now REAAAALLL, and that makes me extremely happy.

Product number two is the "I'm a rocket, you are an anchor" sticker set. They were also mentioned in the same old entry and I also gave away a couple of sets, so if you are one of the people who participated in the contest this is good news, cause they're now available in my store at a very reasonable price :)

I cut and packed each one of them with my own hands, that's love right? But I printed very few sets of these cause the "business" is just starting, so if you really want a set get your hands on them asap.

I hope you guys like them as much as I do :)

Go and tell your friends, cause the store is now OPEN! x

(also if you have any suggestions please let me know, comments are very very welcomed)
