it sings at the pounding of millions of hearts
and dances in the streets.

My Own Private Icon
Posted by Leo Espinosa at 12:19 pm on July 2nd |
I'm waaay too far from New York and ICON5 right now and it makes me a little sad to miss all the good friends I won't be able to see (and dance with) but the alternative is not bad at all: I'm down in Colombia doing an Illustration/Music project for kids that I'm itching to show you... but.... grrrr... I cannot yet.
I forgot how nice life is here. People work really hard but there's always time for friends and family. Moving around the city of Bogotá is kind of a challenge too and kind of an adventure in a way because so many areas and rules have changed since I left that I feel like re-discovering the place I grew up in.

This is the Bookstore, which is conveniently placed at the bar. I found a copy of El Malpensante magazine with the cover I did. I snatched it right away.

The shops and boutiques around the area where the conference is taking place have everything:
From plush dolls to your favorite cigarettes and bubble gum.

Hands on during the road show... ¡Otra cerveza por favor!

And the accommodations: Pencil fiesta, day and night.
¡Adiós chiquitines!

Beat stress. Get on your bike

A recent full page I did for Bicycling magazine reminded me that both my bike and my nervous system could use a good ride or three. This time of the year is quite hard for me since I have to chain myself to the desk to prepare all the material for the Licensing Show (which is next week in New York) and there's literally no time for a real ride. Little errands to get art supplies, a coffee break or taking the kids to school seem to be the only chances I get to ride. Can't wait to hit the road again; Hang in there, nerves!

I'm not Waxman and LOVE to get into all the detais when rendering a bicycle,
even knowing that it wasn't going to be printed very big.

Three Shadows
Posted by Leo Espinosa at 2:52 pm on May 26th |
First Second, is rapidly becoming one of my favorite publishing houses; In their catalog there are two brilliant novels by Italian master Gipi (including Notes for a War Story).
Yesterday my friend Phil Amara recommended that I should get Three Shadows by Cyril Pedrosa. Well, I just bought it and it's all I was expecting it was going to be: Beautiful clear lines, composition and a great tale as a backbone. A must for comic fans!
Here's an excerpt from the book. Enjoy!

All I want for Chistmas

Dear Santa:
I know it's kind of early for this but you know I've been good, granted not as good as I promised last year but c'mon man, I'm just a humble human being. You have to admit that this beautiful Cinelli with Barry McGee's graphics is pretty dope. Please, please, I'll be extra good, I will shovel my obnoxious neighbor's driveway, I will wash the dog, do community service... anything. I would even tattoo Rudolph on my forehead... what do you say? Take your time, no preasure, feel free to e-mail me any time. I'll be here all day.
