Weird and long last 2 months. I´m participating at the Lilla Rogers Global Talent Search. Great opportunity to win representation with the Lilla Rogers Studio, but also a great occasion to showcase my illustrating skills and to get a “real life” brief from a major company in another country.
The first assignment was for Paperchase, the product: a journal cover in any medium or style; the theme: Old-fashioned playground. What a fun a theme, right?.
I really want to continue to the second round, because, of all the submissions the Lilla Rogers Studio will only pick 50. So I will keep my fingers crossed, there are a lot of wonderful entries.
So here´s my submission. I wish I had time to tell you about my process or research, but time is scarce and I have to continue with other projects that need my immediate attention.
For the last 2 months I´ve been part of an editorial workshop called: Abducció(n) Tropical.
This friday (July 26) we are going to showcase the outcome of the workshop: 4 different editorial projects; an artist book, a graphic novel (the first chapter), a gallery-bar fanzine and an illustration book. All of them will be for sale, so its a great opportunity to see and buy independent publications.
A Diario is my editorial project: a small pocket sized book where you can see a few of my illustrations based on my love of every day objects and traditional (in Antioquia) tiled patterned floors.
If you are in Medellín I would love to see you at La Miscelanea (Cra. 35 # 7-86), El Poblado, Medellín, around 6:00 pm.

Los últimos 2 meses he sido parte del taller editorial Abducció(n) Tropical.
Este viernes (26 de Julio) vamos a tener una muestra de los resultados del taller: 4 proyectos editoriales; un libro de artista, una novela gráfica (el primer capítulo), un fanzine dedicado a los bares-galerias y un libro de ilustración. Todos ellos estarán a la venta, va a ser una gran oportunidad para ver y comprar publicaciones independientes.
A Diario es mi proyecto editorial: un libro de tamaño bolsillo, donde se pueden ver algunas de mis ilustraciones basadas en mi amor por los objetos de todos los días y las baldosas para pisos tradicionales en Antioquia.
Si estás en Medellín me encantaría verte en La Miscelanea (Cra. 35 # 7-86), El Poblado, Medellín, a las 6:00 pm.

Este bichito nació de un ejercicio que estoy haciendo. Dibujé todas la letras del alfabeto y a partir de sus formas básicas ilustré personajes. Este es el primero y está basado en la letra A. Eventualmente tendré una familia completa de bichitos raros.
This creature was born from an exercise that I´m doing. I drew all the letters in the alphabet and from their basic forms illustrated characters. This one is the first and it´s based on the letter A. Eventually I´ll have a complete family of weird creatures.

Mi Blog ha estado olvidado, pero ha empezado un nuevo año (hace rato, ya lo sé) y espero actualizarlo, al menos una vez a la semana. Han pasado muchas cosas que me han mantenido desconectada, entre ellas: construir una casa, ahora estoy viviendo en el campo, lejos de la ciudad, hay mucho verde a mi alrededor y estoy acompañada por mis perros, gatos y mi novio. En resumen ha sido un cambio maravilloso, pero hemos trabajado mucho en la casa y no he tenido mucho tiempo de concentrarme en mis proyectos personales.
Esta ilustración es del año pasado de Noviembre, pero no la había publicado. Fue hecha para una convocatoria de la página 27pm.net, que es un proyecto colectivo de ilustradores, para su exposición “Mundos desconocidos”. Las fotografías son de Natalia Uribe, gracias Naty.
My Blog has being kind of forgotten, but a new year has begun (long time ago, I know) and I hope to update it at least once a week. Lots of things have happen that have kept me away, like: building a house, I now live in the country, far from the city, there is a lot of green around me and I am accompanied by my dogs, cats and my boyfriend. Briefly its been a wonderful change, but we have been working a lot on the house, and I haven´t had much time to concentrate on my personal projects.
This is an illustration I did last year on November, but I hadn´t publish it. It was made for a web page called 27pm.net, that is a project of a collective of illustrators, for it exhibit “Mundos desconocidos” (Unknown Worlds). The photograph is from Natalia Uribe, thanks Naty.

Its been so looong, but lost of things have been happening, good things. But now things are back to normal, almost normal. This is my latest illustration for They Draw & Cook, for the cooking 4 kids contest. Hope you enjoy it and you should really try this one, its delicious.
Ha pasado mucho tiempo, pero muchas cosas han estado pasando, cosas buenas. Pero ahora las cosas están un poquito mas normales. Esta es mi última ilustración para They Draw & Cook para el concurso de cocinando para niños. Ojalá les guste y deberían intentar esta, es deliciosa.
It´s been a while, to much to do. But here is an illustration I did for a magazine, although it did get picked I really like it. It was based on an Indian fable of an elephant and some mice that help him escape from his captors.
Ha pasado un tiempo, muchas cosas por hacer. Pero acá va una ilustración que hice para una revista, aunque finalmente no fue escogida, me gusta mucho. Está basada en una fábula de un elefante y unos ratones que le ayudan a escapar de sus captores.
I´m very happy. This design was selected as a runner up in the Tigerprint competition: Contemporary Flowers. We had to work with a specific color palette and flowers for card design for women, and as the title of the competition says it needed to have a contemporary feel. Here are my other two submissions.
Estoy muy feliz. El diseño de arriba fue escogido como finalista en el concurso de Tigerprint: Flores Contemporaneas. Teníamos que trabajar con una paleta de color específica y flores para una tarjeta para mujeres y como el nombre de la competencia lo dice debián tener un look contemporaneo. Aca están mis otros dos diseños.

This is an illustration commissioned for the magazine Bacánika, a Colombian publication for young people. My illustration was featured in the 42th edition, in the test section, that was about how much people know about colombian newspapers.
Here´s a little bit a of my process.
First I sketch on paper (here´s only the final sketch), I scan it and then use it as a reference in Painter to create the line work, which has the feel of a very clean linocut, but still has little imperfections. I create textures from found objects, others I create by drawing with ink or acrylics or anything I have around in different textured papers, then I play around with them in Photoshop and convert them to black and white images. Then, in Illustrator, I color it and play with the different textures I created.
—————————–
Esta es una ilustración para la revista Bacánika, una publicación Colombiana para jovenes. Mi ilustración salió en la edición 42, en la sección de test, que era de cuanto saben las personas de los periodicos colombianos.
Un poquito de mi proceso: Primero boceteo en papel (aca sólo tengo el boceto final), lo escaneo y lo uso como referecia en Painter para crear las lineas, que tienen un estilo parecido a un grabado en linoleo muy limpio, pero con algunas imperefeciones. Creo texturas de objetos encontrados, otras las creo dibujando con tinta o acrilicos o lo que haya por ahí, en papeles con diferentes texturas. Despues, en Illustrator lo coloreo y juego con las texturas que creé.
This is my latest submission for “They Draw and Cook“, a wonderful blog that unites two of my greatest loves: food and drawing, and its getting bigger and better everyday; If you haven´t been there yet, you should go, right away!
Esta es mi última entrega para “They Draw and Cook“, un bolg maravilloso que une dos de mis mas grandes amores: comida e illustración, cada vez está mejor y mas grande; si no han ido todavía, deberían hacerlo, ahora mismo!
This is an illustration I did for my portfolio, and it fits perfectly to this week´s topic. Also the last few days have been so hot, I woudn´t mind going to the beach.
Esta ilustración la hice para miportafolio y encaja perfectamente con el tema de esta semana. Además los ultimos dias han sido tan calurosos, que no me chocaría ir a la playa.
Scary things go on beneath beds, I´ve always been afraid to look, but its October and its the month to draw monsters and weird creatures, I really like this month. So, this is my submission, monsters beneath a bed, I just hope its not mine.
Cosas miedosas ocurren debajo de las camas, siempre me ha dado miedo mirar, pero es Octubre y este es el mes para dibujar monstruos y criaturas raras, me encanta este mes. Esta es mi ilustracion, monstruos debajo de la cama, solo espero que no sea la mia.

A little late this week, lots of things happening, learning Dreaweaver, working on my portfolio and participating in the Zero2Illo 12 week challenge. But here it is: a really bad detective.

very cute! love your idea!
Me gusta esta ilustración, con tanto colorido en torno al personaje y tan negro panorama al fondo…
Great illustration. I love the rabbit, and the background is great too!
Oh yes, I can relate! Wonderful work here!!
..cute illo..nice take on this topic..
So true! Very nice image!
hmmm…interesting you should choose a rabbit to represent yourself when talking about NOT getting hit by cars…nice energy here!
I really like this one, e! … it’s funny and sweet and true, but best of all is the contrast between your bunny and that dark, dark background! Awesome!
this is so chic and colorful and bright!!! It’s wonderful. i love the contrast going on. The background is wonderful!
Que lindo, me gusta como todo alrededor de la conejita es color en medio de la oscura ciudad <3
