another creature i made for a friend, this time it's the longing scolipede

[frankomudo]

today was the inauguration of my art exhibit in Porto!

it's called "Manual Ilustrado da Afeição" - it means 'illustrated manual of affection'. it's half deconstruction half guide on how to perform certain caring gestures like holding hands. in time i will post them here.

the concept only really extends to the new 4 pieces, but it's complemented by a lot of my previous work that can work in that context as well.

i got my hotel paid for by the organization and i met so many of my artist peers (we all sell at this gallery), people i've only had online contact with before, for the first time in like 4 years. all in all it was a magical day and i had a blast.

if you happen to visit Porto during february, be sure to visit the "Cor Própria" gallery :)))

so i made a bunch of pokemon illustrations as gifts for friends, here's another one of those: mr. magcargo!

little spinarak for @razehider birthday

ive recently started experimenting with mixing my illustration with photomontage and this little guy was my first attempt.
