When you dive into a pool or rush into the sea, do you notice the feel of the water against your skin?Is it hot or cold, muddy or clear, salty or fresh?Is it slick (with oil, sadly) or still pure, slimy or silty?And when you begin reading a story, are you aware of the feel–the texture– of the story?What do I mean by texture?It’s like the physical sensation that you’d get from rubbing your hand

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.
Un poquito tarde esta semana, ando en muchas cosas, aprendiendo dreamweaver, trabajando en mi portafolio y participando en el desafío de 12 semanas en Zero2Illo . Pero aca está: un detective my malo.

Is there anything more horrible than a mosquito keeping you awake? You get out of bed and try to catch it, but you can´t see it, so you go back to bed, and this little beast keeps buzzing like he is on a mission, so you try to catch it again and this goes on all night, until you go crazy. I hate mosquitos so much!
Hay algo más horrible que un mosquito manteniendote despierto? Uno sale de la cama, lo trata de atrapar, pero no se ve, entonces te metes a la cama otra vez y esa bestiecilla sigue zumbando como si tuviera una misión, entonces tratas de atraparlo otra vez y esto sigue toda la noche, hasta que te enloqueces. Odio los mosquitos!

This illustration was just accepted to a wonderful blog called They Draw & Cook, it has two of my favorite things: illustration and food. This recipe is a re-interpretation of pasta puttanesca, but easier, where boiling the water is the hardest part. Visit, enjoy and contribute, it has great works in very different styles and tasty recipes. Hmm I´m hungry now.
Esta ilustración fue aceptada para un blog maravillos que se llama They Draw & Cook, tiene dos de mis cosas favoritas: ilustraciones y comida.

What goes underneath our floors? who knows. Ever wonder why socks go missing? Maybe there´s a subterranean gang of criminals at work.
Que pasa por debajo de nuestro piso? quién sabe. Haz pensado porque se pierden las medias? Tal vez hay una pandilla de criminales subterráneos trabajando.

Mei Matsuoka is a Japanese-English illustrator with some really charming work. She mixes media like a champ and the work is totally playful and innocent. See more at her portfolio.

This is an illustration from a story I am developing. I wanted to show more texture in the pieces and especially in the sheep. So, here I embossed a pattern over the sheep's wooly coat. Using Painter X, I created the pattern first, one that I liked, saved it, and then used it with the pattern embossing brush to create the effect. Using a technique like this once in a while can be effective. One just has to be sure not to overdo it. I am hoping to find some other ways to create various textures that won't overpower the other spreads in this book. I love the journey that illustration takes me on each day!
Colour me impressed with UK illustration student Andrew Hudson’s use of textures, shapes, and patterns.

 I'm a huge fan of the newest version of Doctor Who, so I thought it would be cool to illustrate the newest doctor (along with my favorite of his companions, Freema Agyema) as the cover to a classic comic book.
Visit my website.
this is the first woodcut for school, which after several prints have made us carve some textures on the same one. now that i've printed some copies, today i've started to carve more open plains.
to be continued...
How fitting that we're talking about first jobs. My first job was being a camp counselor. I think it was between my freshman and sophomore year in high school.
I worked for (purposely not inserting name here) summer camp. I loved kids and summer and thought it would be an amazing thing to do in the summer. Mind you, I was not a CIT - counselor in training. I was a JUNIOR COUNSELOR. I got a WHOPPING $200 for eight weeks of work. I got a BONUS of $50 for being a BUS COUNSELOR. That's a total of $250 for the entire summer.
Okay, so I got to flirt with the boy counselors at camp (the director only hired good looking counselors). And I got to be friends with a bunch of the girl counselors. But I have to be honest...the $250 wasn't worth it. What was that, less than $1 an hour when you factor in the week training before camp started and the bus rides from and to camp at one hour each.
This was also my first time being in the presence of illegal drugs. A counselor drove me home one day (I have no clue why I didn't take the bus home) and he pulled out marijuana from the glove compartment. He was going to light up at the stoplight. When I yelled at him and made him put it away, he laughed at me and called me a dork.
Seriously, those are my memories from my first job. Low pay and a pothead.
Anyone else work at camp and have horror stories to share?
