Little sketchbook

one of my favorite things when traveling is to visit museums and of course their gift shops, i've been lucky enough to find really cheap stuff like some watercolor sketchbooks that were on sale at the Tate Modern (£1.00 each, it was insane!) or the little sketchbooks i bought when i visited the Fundación Mapfre museum in Madrid, they have impressionist paintings on their covers, very very pretty. the pages you see here are from the last of these sketchbooks. i hope i get to find more of these next time i visit a museum gift shop :)

Playlist: Favorite songs of 2013!

When it comes to music, 2013 was kind of a weird year for me. I sort of lost interest in a lot of bands that I used to like a lot, and very few new albums caught my attention, I feel like, either I became too lazy to listen to new music when I actually have a lot of old music that I have to listen to or I just got tired of listening to new alternative bands because it all started to sound the same to me, to be honest I have no idea, I guess closing cycles and taking distance from the stuff you used to love is a part of growing up?

Anyway, I think 2013 was a good year for music and a lot of cool songs were released, so I wanted to share some of my favorites with you in the form of a playlist! I crafted this list very carefully and with a lot of love so that all of you can enjoy it from beginning to end despite how eclectic it may be, hah ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪


As you will see I ain't no music connoisseur, so I would love to know which songs were your favorites of 2013!  Feel free to leave me a comment and recommend me some new music! I am genuinely curious to know about it!

大きくなる子 //trip down memory lane

Un tributo a "Niños en Crecimiento" (大きくなる子), uno de mis programas favoritos cuando tenía como 4 o 5 años. Mi personaje favorito era Andrés (だいすけ/Daisuke en Japón), un tigrito que era muy tímido e introvertido. ¿Alguien más se acuerda de este programa? (ॢ˘⌣˘ ॢ⑅)

Sketchbook

Estas son algunas de las páginas del sketchbook que estoy a punto de terminar, la verdad lo empecé con mucha inseguridad y sentía que lo iba a arruinar jaja, pero al final terminé con un montón de páginas atascadas de garabatos que me gustaron mucho. Al principio pensé que sólo iba a usar acuarela pero conforme iban pasando las hojas fui usando muchos otros materiales y experimenté con formas y estilos y estoy muy contenta porque va a quedar muy gordito cuando ya esté todo todo repleto de dibujos *✧₊✪͡◡ू✪͡

Y ya para terminar esta larga larga entrada dejo esta dulce tonada de Perfume, fin.

Gouache

Gouache is cool too.

PLAYLIST!

Candy Candy from quetzalli.m on 8tracks Radio.

HEY GUYS! I’m back with some sweet sweet music!

Maybe some of you know, maybe some of you had no idea, but these days I'm all about K-Pop and Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, and lemme tell you it feels pretty damn good! So I thought I should share a bit of what I've been listening to with all my internet peeps,  and that's why I did this playlist!

I had to edit the original cause as some of you know 8tracks does not allow to include more than 2 songs by the same artist in one playlist, so this is roughly a list with some of my current favorites as well as some other random songs that I don’t think are particularly great but sort of seemed to fit well with the all others (?).

The original playlist was this one (which honestly makes much more sense than the one you’re about to listen)...

1. “PONPONPON” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
2. “얼굴보고 얘기해” (Talk To My Face ft. ZICO) - 디유닛(D-Unit)
3. “Be Ma Girl” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
4. “추격자” - 인피니트(Infinite)
5. “I YAH” - 보이프렌드(Boyfriend)
6. “다시 돌아와” - 인피니트(Infinite)
7. “Lover Boy” - 비투비 (BTOB)
8. “To You” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
9. “있을 때 잘해 줄 걸” - 유비트(uBEAT)
10. “チェリーボンボン” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
11. “Oops!” (feat. 정일훈 of BTOB) - 지나(G.NA)
12. “キミに100パーセント” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
13. “사랑하고 싶어 (I Wanna Love)” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
14. “Unite Unite” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
15. “No More Perfume On You” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
16. “CANDY CANDY” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
17. “기대해(Expect)” - 걸스데이(GIRL’S DAY)
18. “WOW” - 비투비 (BTOB)
19. “Miss Right” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
20. “インベーダーインベーダー” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
21. “크레용 (Crayon)” - G Dragon
22. “でもでもまだまだ” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
23. “나쁜놈” - 백퍼센트(100%)
24. “にんじゃりばんばん” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ
25. “Supa Luv” - 틴탑(Teen Top)
26. “ファッションモンスター” - きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ

...but there's still some pretty good tunes in it so ENJOOOOOOOYYYY!!
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Also, if you're feeling curious, search on google/youtube any of the songs on the list, you are going to have a good time watching the videos, trust me! x

Farewell postcard

A few weeks ago, one of my closest friends embarked on a journey to the other side of the world to pursue her dreams.This is a postcard I did especially for her. Needless to say, I'm gonna miss her loads, but I'm pretty sure Thailand is taking good care of her :)

First ever canvas patch!

 

I bought a denim vest a few months ago but honestly it looked really boring and plain, so, in order to make it look sweeter I decided to put a patch on it!

I have always wanted to make one of these so I drew a little something on illustrator, printed it on a piece of canvas (transfer paper, yay!) and sewed it to the vest, in my opinion it looks pretty rad. Also, check out my fabulous Foals pin, given to me by the lovely Hermine a few years back. 

I've been thinking about printing more of these patches, so if anyone's interested just let me know and I'll make it happen!

-

¡Por fin! He aquí el parche que hice hace ya un par de meses, la verdad la verdad es que estoy re contenta con el resultado final.
Por ahí algunas personas me han dicho que debería hacer más, así que, si a alguien se le antoja tener esta chulada de parche, nomás échenme un grito y nos ponemos de acuerdo :)

You're my compass and my sea

"No map, no message. It's the deep, blue screen I know."

キミに100パーセント

 

My obsession with Kyary Pamyu Pamyu just won't go away, so I decided to do a postcard with a phrase from one of her songs. Gaahhh I wish I could actually speak and write japanese (︶︹︺)

Internal struggle or something

Hace unas semanas me fui a cortar el cabello y me quedé pensando en unas cuantas cosas y luego pensé que debería dibujarlas. Dudo que esto cuente como cómic, es más como un sketch/journal o no sé, pero bueh, ahí vaaaa...

"I'm so tired"

"out here i can barely see my breath, surrounded by jealousy and death
i can't be reached, only had one call. dragged underneath, separate from you all.

this time i've lost my own return, in spite of everything i've learned
i hid my tracks, spit out all my air, slipped into cracks, stripped of all my cares.

i'm so tired sheep are counting me. no more struggle, no more energy
no more patient and you can write that down, it's all too crazy and i'm not sticking round."

Tales from the sketchbook. 2

In this edition of "Tales from the sketchbook" we have a couple of sharks and heterochromia iridum.

Tales from the sketchbook

I just realized Valentine's day is coming very soon, however this is not an intentional Valentine's day post. This isn't very romantic anyway, but it sort of fits?

Garabato de inconformidad.

Febrero del 2013 y sigo esperando a que llegue el invierno, me siento estafada.

(︶︹︺)

(Cuando estaba haciendo este sketch me di cuenta de que en ambas tengo cada de asco, en la primera probablemente porque envidiaba a todos los que vivían el verdadero invierno cada año y en la segunda porque quería usar abrigos y el clima no me dejaba, creo que esto sólo prueba la teoría de que siempre seré una amargada)

Some of my favourite countries are islands, part 4: United Kingdom

And finally, the last entry of the Islands series: The United Kingdom!

This is actually the only island I've had the pleasure to visit, well... technically I only went to England, but it was pretty amazing, great people, great music, beautiful architecture and lovely everything, I have very fond memories of Oxford, London and Manchester and  I keep dreaming about going back, hopefully my dreams will become a reality pretty soon, Cowley Road is waiting for me!

Now some pictures of the process and a few pictures of the pictures of my trip, enjoy!

Stay cool everyone. x
