leftlings

Piggy Bank

2008-03-31T09:06:00.002+01:00

Last week I created this (not so) little pig for James Marr's project: The Piggy Bank Project. Right now I'm painting the ceramic one for the exhibition, keep an eye on his website for updates!

Bed Head

This is part of an experiment/exercise I'm conducting with photographer Emma Campbell. We're basically following on the life of the character I created for the Rainy Day leftling. So, hold on to your hats, there are more like this coming.

Tango 02

2008-03-08T20:41:00.002Z

It's taken me a while but I am finally back to my leftlings. Here's the second of the tango series. I really like this approach, I think I will render the next one in a similar way. I have submitted this image for the next chapter of the Raster Group.

Tango 01

2008-01-02T16:41:00.000Z

Learning to dance tango has helped me see this music genre with new eyes, so I've decided to start a series of leftlings on the topic. This illustration is best appreciated while listening the wonderful Osvaldo Fresedo.

Birthday boy

2007-11-01T12:13:00.000Z

So, I'm turning like a million years old today. This is how I look at the moment... but I feel young inside. NO! the other way around... this is me inside... no that's not it... anyway... this is an old me. It's cooler to draw myself as an old person, for some reason. yay! send me cards, hug me, give me cake! woooo

Dr. Who

2007-10-23T08:27:00.001+01:00

I've been meaning to color my Dr. Who leftling for a while. I finally found the time. I wonder what he'd say if he saw it.

We have moved!

2007-10-12T08:12:00.000+01:00

Well, almost. This is turning to be a longer process than I thought but I reckon very soon I will be able to carry on doing more leftlings. Not that anyone's chasing me for them.

Little hectic man

2007-09-04T09:11:00.000+01:00

This is sort of what my life feels like at the moment. I am hopeful I will get somewhere eventually.

Short absence

2007-08-31T09:15:00.000+01:00

It's been a while since my last leftling. I am itching to make more, but right now we're in the middle of moving house and things are being pretty hectic lately. I'm afraid the leftlings shortage will linger for at least another couple of weeks. Try and be patient (whoever reads this!). Cheers!

Epic Pose

2007-07-24T08:23:00.001+01:00

This morning on my way to work, I was wondering what to draw next, when I saw this man standing in such an epic pose that I had no doubt he was next. Standing on the Canning Town platform, looking at the horizon as if saying 'go on! make me a leftling!'. So I did.

Puzzle

People's behaviour is puzzling most of the time.

Computer Arts Projects

I contributed to a feature put together by Sam Gilbey for the Computer Arts Projects magazine.

Sad Ladies

2007-07-18T07:46:00.000+01:00

I have to confess I've been horribly busy lately so I haven't done any new leftlings. I'll try to keep up. Promise! (not that anyone is keeping track LOLZ)

Sunny day

2007-07-16T07:53:00.000+01:00

Following the steps of rainy day I decided to try its opposite. Personally I don't think I achieved the charisma of the first one, so if you allow me I will try again. I do like it! I just think it could be better.

Sunflower

2007-07-13T07:58:00.000+01:00

Not long ago me and my wife planted a couple of sunflowers from seeds. I've never done this before and until today I am still surprised of how fast and tall they grow, a couple of days ago one of them decided to finally stop growing and bloom. They're amazing. There's still one that's nearly a meter taller than me.

Mr. X

2007-07-12T08:34:00.000+01:00

Today I went for speed, it took me about 2 or 3 minutes to finish up this guy I made up. I remember seeing recently someone somewhere with a concave nose-to-chin shape like that, so that's where I started. I'm sure I can beat that time.

Kevin

Arrrgh!

2007-07-10T13:32:00.000+01:00

I don't know what to draw today.

Marauder

This has been the longest weekend ever!

Sana que sana...

2007-07-06T07:54:00.000+01:00

My better half is in bed with a terrible cold, poor thing. I can't wait to go home and look after her.

Team building exercise

2007-07-05T07:53:00.000+01:00

Yesterday on my way to work I saw the most organized group of crows I've ever seen. One of them was crossing the pedestrian path with a bag of crisps in its beak while the rest watched on the other side waiting for him. When he reached them the all gathered round and started pecking on the sealed bag. How did they know there was food inside is beyond me. It was kind of creepy!

Daaaaave

This is my friend Dave (approximately) drinking some Belgian beer while doodling Korean words on his book.
