1:49 am

I think I'm trying to suggest something about the duality of man.

I went to see my college friends on saturday. I live an hour and a half away from them so I don’t see them as often lately, I have to plan it out, but this saturday I was free and we went to the house of two of them.

Anyway, completely unrelated, here’s Tony and Davo stoned out of their minds at a house party.

Who’s house? I’m still not sure. Maybe someone Tony met in highschool like Tak or Lina. Or it...

Pickles.

She asked for no pickles.

Or she should have.

There's no problem anyway.

This one's an oldie I never posted, but I did fixed some thing recently.

Well, there's not a lot to say about this one, I went to eat burgers one day and I thought it would be fun to draw my characters doing the same.

Mainly lil taking out the pickles because I do that.

A fun fact I could mention is the logo on the burger wraps is a simplification of the Burgers & Joch's logo Which...

Scopophobia

Or

"The barn on the old farm outside of town where weird sounds have bee… Wait, what the hell was that light?"

And then there was a second flashing light but by the time they got to the bushes there was nothing to find but a chocolate bar wrap and a spool of yarn.

A little bit of a role reversal for the Whisperers who are often on the other side of the camera.

Who was behind that bush? Maybe a reporter with an interest in the occult. An amateur photographer there at ...

Happy Birthday Grimace!

Or.

“The gang straight up dies!”*

“Note: The whisperers depicted here are not the same character as the one in my usual drawings. They will never be seen again.”

I mean, Nicole is smart enough to know you never mess with the Grimace.

Good News everyone! I took some time between commissions to make something pretty stupid.

Wanted to get off that Grimace milkshake killing trend because it was pretty much tailor made for the Whisperers. Unfortunately, I seem...

Towards You

"Lil… can you pull me to the grass? The ground is burning my back."

-Tony

Anyway, I came up with another fake album cover, almost by accident.

Well they went past a stop like 1 or 2 kilometers ago and half of that would be downhill from here. So it's not a terrible situation. Just still kind of sucky.

Originally this wasn't going to be an "album cover" the original composition was different, but I completely changed my mind when I realized, almost by accident that, i...

Las tres y todo sereno.

"It's three o'clock and all is well"

Or.

"Unquiet Slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth"

I had been thinking a bit about the serenos. That's how the night watch was named in México. The most traditional picture of them has them yelling about the time and the current state of affairs. "It's three o'clock and all is well!"

Around my town you can still hear them sometimes. They ride their bikes around while playing a ghostly sounding whistle that used to make me ...

6 Morning Lil

And thus we've gone all the way around to the beginning.

In the past when drawing a younger Lil I've tended to make her eyelashes curl upwards instead of downwards to make her feel distinct. And since then I've had this picture on my mind of Lil in the morning brushing her eyelashes down and making them look like they usually do. And that was pretty much the Genesis of this whole project.

A thing I ...

5 Morning Tony

Yes. This would be the last one. But it is not anymore.

Obviously the twin piece to Davo's after he finally finished doing his "hair" and  a sleepy Tony can go in and get ready.

I didn't originally plan it for this but I had the picture of a bird character "brushing their beak" in mind for a long time. And it is obviously a silly idea so I knew it would be perfect for Tony.

Actually I also thought about having Zara brushing her beak and Tony flossing it because that's e...

4 Diana

4 but 5, you may know the jist by now. It is now for Diana to get ready for the day.

Just as with the last one with Zara I wasn't really sure what to do for this one. One of the silliest ideas I came up with, and was really close to doodling was Diana Painting her spots as if it were make-up. Of course I didn't end up going with that, it would generate too many questions but, it was still a funny idea, maybe for a more cartoon and surreal version of this series.

Big Pant or Big Jakt

Fresh one, right off the oven I just finished my probably late entry to the big Pant or big Jakt meme.

I've been wanting to make this one all week, but I was working on another two (And a half?) Big pieces. I finished them today and I started working on this immediately after. Finished it a little bit later than usual. I'm considering making it public ...

3 Morning Zara


Or you know, actually 4. Yes, Zara is definitely the type of person who sings in front of the mirror.

See, when I started working on these I had the idea for the first three, but starting with this one I didn't really know what to do, and I tried a number of things until I arrived at this idea, which is kind of cheating in a sense. We've seen her sing before but I can totally see her getting distracted while putting on her deodorant and singing a whole show in the bathroom be...

2 Morning RJ

The 2nd but actually third entry for this series I did.

This one was the last one I had figured out before I started, the other 3 I had to figure out while I worked on them but I had the idea for RJ of him trimming his "beard".

Before I started I worried a bit that what he's doing would be confusing and have people thinking he was actually shaving his fur and ending up bald but I think I solved that one at the end. I guess I'm making a little bit of world building with this one be...

1 Morning Davo

Or 2 but I messed it up. See. So I had this idea for a piece from some time ago. I had this sense of doing something more intimate with my characters, but a different kind of intimate, so the idea was originally to make a collage of loose illustrations of the members of the band getting ready for their days. But I ended up completely over doing it.

So instead of a collage it ended up as 6 individual pieces each with like 4 alternative versions and some with more than that. Each more det...

The Boomer

Or the weird electric bark like noise blasting through town at 3:00 am.

Based on real events kinda.

Weird title I know but I think that’s what the gang named the creature.

There’s a weird sound that sounds often around the place I live during the night. I could describe it as a sort of a booming electric bark from some kind of dog-frog creature. I don’t know what makes the noise, but it may be from some kind of machine, there’s a ton of factories around my neighborho...

Took a little break to make a thing that I came up with and it took like two weeks but here I am continuing this series with my little guy Tony!

Morning People

I’m just saying that some people manage waking up early better than others. And I think here you can see how the band does it. Some are better than others at it. But you can't really blame them, after all it's extra hard when you're going around in a van during the day and doing concerts at night.

And that's pretty much the idea behind this piece. I wanted to see the band stopping to get some breakfast and it became a road piece while I was making it. See who in the band are morning p...

Si yo no te tengo a ti

Or.

City kids exit to the countryside and see stars for the first time.

So I got my ending credits, Now I just got to do the show. Lol

This is another idea I had in mind for a good while, and after the animation I posted a couple weeks ago I felt like I was in an animating mood so here it is! I finally did it!

This isn’t the only piece I’ve made that had the Hombres G song “Si yo no te tengo a ti” as the title. I got a vibe from it once and I’v tried to put i...

On Tour!

The band is going on tour, guys! Nothing big, just a couple of cities, but still, they’re all very excited. Some a little bit more than others, like Zara for example who has been awake all night and requested to drive for a bit on the last gas stop, after waking up so early RJ could actually use a little bit of rest and they’re on the highway after all, so “why not” he thought, and let her sit on the driver’s seat for a while, much to the chagrin of him and the other band mates who ...

Remember those pictures I made of Diana and Zara and suggested I may do a series of the band with that style. Well, I'm already halfway there lol.

Gold And Blue

I wanted to get into the Golden Bikini trend and I got a bit over carried with it. 

See, you can't see it here but I remade the background like three times, I wasn't fully convinced with the first two. The first one only had the sea behind her, but the whole thing looked really empty, besides It made no sense angle wise.

Then I started trying out some buildings like hotels and such. And also the van. I liked the idea, if I were to put a story behind this piece, of the band ju...

Off

And it is done. Here's an animation I started working on last March between commissions. Which explains why it took me so long to finish. But I've actually been thinking about this idea for a long time.

Just the band taking a day off after a concert They gave out of town. That's at least what I think it's going on. Zara finally made up her mind and Diana and Lil are teaching her the fundamentals while Tony and Davo are having a showdown to prove once and for all who is the champion of t...

Made a Diana pic on a similar style of yesterday's Zara cause I liked that one really much.

I don't wanna make any promess but I think I'd like to end up doing one like this for every member of the band. It'd be fun, I like the idea of making a new nice outfit for the boys for these ones. They're always wearing the same. lol

Shadows

This is mainly a piece about nothing.

Just good ol' Zara discovering that you can use the lamp on your phone to play shadow puppets on the roof.

Which is kind of fun if I may add.

Just a piece of Zara chilling in her old room at her parents house. I just had a vibe and an idea in mind for this piece when I started. And the idea was one a bit hard to work my style around because this one as you can see, is a “hand centric” piece, and most of my characters I draw with just...
