Right, so I finally got to the Bio bit. So here we go. For starters, all the images in this page, are me, altered or not, on computer, cartooned and even with little horns. Feel free to click and look as much as you want.
I was born in Mexico city on October 18th. Iv'e lived all my life in Mexico City, but traveling has convinced me of living in several places further on. I speak both english and spanish, but thanks to extensive reading, I have a much better grasp and vocabulary of english.
Official sources ( my mother in this case) state that I draw since the age of two, and haven´t stopped since. In these pages you'll find my work, Drawing, Painting, Digital Images and Sequential art. And any which way to mix all these things. I'd very much like the opinions of anybody and everybody who visits my page.
Let's see, what else? I absolutley love reading, amongst the faves you'll find Gabriel Garcia Marquez (who absolutley makes magic with words like no one else), John Steinbeck (subtle and powerfull), Anne Rice, Neil Gaiman, Thomas Harris, Oscar Wilde, John Irving, G.K. Chesterton.
Movies: The Silence Of The Lambs, The Hours, Chicago, Bram Stokers Dracula, Y Tu Mama Tambien, The Lord Of The Rings, The Age Of Innocence, The Edge, Elizabeth, Wolf, As Good As It Gets, The Sixth Sense, The Ring, Moulin Rouge, Unbreakable, Fight Club, Hero, The Others, The Fifth Element, Spirited Away, Magnolia, X-Men, Batman Begins, Big Fish, The Satyricon, My Own Private Idaho, The City Of Lost Children, Delicatessen, Heaven,Wolf, The Witches Of Eastwick, Prospero's Books, The Pillow Book, Happiness, American Beauty, Titus, Frida.
Iv'e also a long lived romance with comics, or sequential art. Amongst those that are in the list of masterpieces ( a still growing list) are: Cages and Pictures That Tick, by Dave McKean ( and pretty much anything and everything he ever does) The Sandman series, as well as Mr. Punch, Black Orchid, Violent Cases, Signal to Noise, The Wolves in The Walls, Coraline , The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish with art by the aforementioned Dave and written by Neil Gaiman. Alan Moore Stuff: From Hell, Swamp Thing, Promethea, The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, Miracleman, Lost Girls, Big Numers and The Killing Joke. Kyle Baker's You are Here and I Die At Midnight and Why I Hate Saturn, Frank Miller's Elektra Lives Again, Sin City, The Dark Night Returns and Ronin. David Mack's Kabuki, Jeff Smith's Bone, Terry Moore's Strangers In Paradise, Warren Ellis's Transmetropolitan, The Authority and Lazarus Churchyard, Garth Ennis's Preacher. Grant Morrison's: The Invisibles, X-Men, The Filth and WE3. Daniel Clowes David Boring and Ghostworld.Mark Hempel's Gregory and Tug and Buster. Mike Mignola's Hellboy, Milligans Enigma, Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira.
I think sequental art, or comics, is definetly an art form, and that it's potential is inmense, and the idea of exploring it seems incredibly exciting. And, in fact, one of the purposes of this page is to experiment and put up these experimentations for anyone to see. And I hope to be able to read from anyone who takes a look so I can have criticisms and opinions and points of view.
I hope to be able to put up new stuff on a weekly basis, let's see if I can manage. No excuses.
I´m a pretty quiet guy, with a defined, introverted personality. Very shy and quiet as a child, less so now ( but even so, pretty much everybody meets me for the first time, best friends included, think I hate them at first.) I'm not great at expressing myself with words, unless there are images along to help, so bear with me. ( in fact, writing something as simple as this took more time than you'd think) Anyways, the idea of the whole webpage thing is to show off my work and try and show myself as honestly as I can. So any help in working on my comunication skills would be very much appreciated.
um. I'm kinda rambling here, I'm not sure what to put on a bio page, especially what exactly would make it interesting so you read it instead of skipping over it.
