Desde entonces me he deleitado rasgando cuanta revista se me ponga en frente.<br />

<span style="color: #76a5af;">A while ago, I was contacted by BAC Credomatic for a job. It is a series of illustrations for their website <a href="http://www.quierounplanetaverde.com/">Quiero un Planeta Verde</a> (I want a Green Planet), where they feature many useful tips on how to collaborate with conservation efforts and help the environment. </span><br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;"><br />I have been ripping magazines to my heart's content since I started this job.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;">This is one of my favorite in the series so far.</span>lachesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-89538347792504820122013-05-03T14:38:00.002-07:002013-05-03T15:43:45.869-07:00En el CILELIJ Bogotá - At CILELIJ Bogota<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Había recibido un set de gubias y esponjas para tallar sellos en Navidad, y desde entonces y mientras terminaba varios trabajos que tenía que entregar, me costó demasiado aguantarme las ganas de probarlas.<br />
<br />
Hasta que finalmente hoy llegó el feliz día de tener un campito en el día para jugar con ellas y ha estado muy divertido!<br /><br /><span style="color: #76a5af;">I had received a set of carving knives and stamp pads for Christmas. Ever since then I have been craving to pounce on them and try my hand at stamp carving, while finishing several jobs I had to finish.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #76a5af;">Finally today is the happy day I get a free afternoon to play around with them, and it has been so much fun!</span>lachesishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09201954716679520787noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6283811605309408643.post-49515590827041279592013-01-03T14:31:00.000-08:002013-05-03T14:32:46.571-07:00Plumilla - Pen<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Me senté a primera hora con la taza caliente de rigor a revisar mi correo y me voy encontrando un mensaje del equipo de arte de <a href="http://orsai.bitacoras.com/">Orsai</a>. Confieso que no tenía la más remota idea de qué se trataba y lo que leí en el mensaje era descabellado. Querían nada menos que ¡cuatro ilustraciones en tres días!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">This work week was looking like one of the best planned in a long time and I was feeling really good about it. But as I sat down with my morning brew to read my email, I found this strange new address appear next to one of the messages in my inbox. It came from the art team of a magazine named </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" href="http://orsai.bitacoras.com/">Orsai</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">. At first I had no clue what I was in for and as I read on I felt this undertow at my feet: They needed 4 illustrations in 3 days!</span><br /><br />Sin embargo, había estado mascullando la idea de iniciar una carpeta para artículos de revista. Y son de esas coincidencias algo sospechosas que esta resultaba ser en efecto...una revista. Literaria para terminar de hacerla, y hermosísima.<br /><br />Y para rematar aun más, el texto es de <a href="http://www.luischaves.com/">Luis Chaves</a>.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">I tried not to panic and recalled that I had been nibbling at the idea of making a portfolio with editorial illustration for magazines. And here, out of the blue, a magazine that was requiring my services. A literary magazine at that and such a beautiful one!<br /><br />To top it off, the text was by a much admired Costa Rican writer called <a href="http://www.luischaves.com/">Luis Chaves</a>.</span><br /><br />Así que no me quedó de otra que aprovechar esta pepita de oro disfrazada de "palmada". He aquí parte de los resultados:<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153);">So I was left with no alternative than to take on this golden opportunity disguised as insanity.
