Galahad Studio – Inbound Marketing
Tradonal illustrations with ink
INKTOBER 2018

During October, “A Doodle a Day” rested on daily ephemeris and joined Jake Parker’s INKTOBER 2018 challenge. But at Galahad Studio we thought we took it a little further and made a special list.

Thus, considering that in ancient times we believed in the existence of King Arthur, Brunhilda or Hercules, characters of poems and songs, we wonder what would happen if modern songs also had their heroes? What are the stories that exist within them?

That’s Space Oddity: The Most Wanted in the Galaxy. A tribute I make to all those things I like, such as music, comics, movies and science fiction.

Ibero-America Illustrates
Participation for the 9th illustration contest, Iberoamérica Ilustra
Digital illustration and Storytelling

With the aim of disseminating the work of illustration professionals at the Ibero-American level, Fundación SM, El Ilustradero and the Guadalajara International Book Fair have been convening the Ibero-American Illustrated Catalogue since 2010.

The contest invites both established illustrators and young talents and results in a Catalog that shows the plastic trends and influences of illustration in this region.

Participation in the contest consists of the realization of between 3 or 5 original images that tell a story, without the use of text to describe them. Thus, each illustrator uses technical and narrative resources and their way of looking at and interpreting the world, to make their proposals.

The illustrations with which I participated on this occasion are based on the following narration by Sir Helder Amos:

Remote work

After they got married, they made a fortune deceiving everyone with their fake séances, he with his tricks and she with his acting.

When he died, she thought that without his tricks they would discover that he was nothing more than a fraud and that he would go bankrupt.

However, she was wrong, because now that they were not physically together, he was still doing his job and even much better than before. End.

In this way, I tried to reflect the hopeless character of the gypsy for the recent loss of her husband; his subsequent escape; And finally, between smiles and tears, the reunion with the loved one through magic itself, because love knows no physical barriers, nor is it forbidden to a couple of scammers.

The illustrations were made entirely digitally and although they were not winners, they meant a great advance in my skills as an illustrator and storyteller. To know the winners and learn more about the contest, visit the following link.

1st International Caricature Competition, José Guadalupe Posada
As part of the activities of the Calaveras Festival 2017
Finalist Image

One of the 50, among 1700 participating works. In addition, he was present at the awards and exhibition of the finalists in Gallery.

The cartoon is a cultural element deeply rooted in the history of Aguascalientes (Mexico). Therefore, during the November festivities, the state organizes the Calaveras Festival and in its 2017 edition, it organized the 1st José Guadalupe Posada International Cartoon Contest (famous Mexican cartoonist).

In this first edition, the central theme was the Catrina, an iconic figure of Mexican culture invented in 1913 by Posada and baptized by Diego Rivera, which has taken on special importance in recent years, thanks to its appearance in Mexican crafts and art, as well as in its appearance in films and books around the world.

My proposal was to recover the mocking sense that Posada imprinted on her, so I illustrated a very funny and carefree Catrina, riding on a revolutionary train, while leaving behind its creators and the history of Mexico, seeking to remain modern, despite the passage of time. The original sketch was made with pencil and down, while the color was applied digitally.

As a Mexican I highly value my culture and its traditions, so as well as in El Largo Camino, I have also made other illustrations such as the Tonatiuh T-shirt or for the exhibition Thinking about death, which I invite you to know.

Ilústram’esta
Project sponsored by CONACULTA
Ilústrame ́sta is a project that seeks to use the platform of the shirt to bring together works by illustrators and visual artists with the intention of exalting the work done in Mexico.
In this way, one of the themes is To illustrate a Deity of ancient Mexico. My proposal was to illustrate Tonatiuh, aztec sun god, giver of life and who was offered beating hearts of the sacrificed, in short, one of the most venerated divinities in Mexico.

Illustration 2013, from PICNIC magazine
to create the cover of issue #55
Finalist Image One of the 60, among 800 participating works. In addition, he was present at the awards and exhibition of the finalists in FIFTY24MX Gallery.

Annually the call comes out to design the cover for the Ilustracional edition of picnic magazine. In 2013, the theme was Geeks. My solution was to consider this group as an important part of pop culture, in this way, this piece emerged that exalts the pride of being Geek, in addition to showing the different facets of this social group.
