With a nice typography we can transform this poster into a full promotional that can be hanged on different places. It was a fun piece to do, but somehow difficult. The guitars and the kids’ poses where done a few times until I got them right. Either way, at the end I painted some color effects and a few musical notes to enhance the drawing. here is the full illustration and a few sketches:

013 Bebo Jay The Beatboxer

365 characters

In the streets always are a few funky and fun characters doing their thing. I love the sound of a mix with a good beat and I bet this urban hip hop beatboxer also does.

002 Tololoche Hero

365 characters

Playing the Tool songs on Guitar Hero was very hard… I imagine that playing them with a tololoche (a mexican acoustic bass) may be damn hard. This character is looking for more heroes so he can start a rock band that will play only with traditional instruments.
