Marisol




Just a quick painting I did in honor of The Spaniard legend "Marisol" ... she was an actress and singer since a little girl in the early 60's
she is and still is soooo talented!

la casera!



this is a delicious drink, as I remember when I used to go to the beach every summer in Spain, we would not have dinner or lunch without gaseosa la casera!

salud!




here is a get together in a typical Spanish bar, some good red wine and... Salud!

gallery DeNovo

this painting I did for my dad, to use as a thank you card to the gallery DeNovo, for having such a nice show. And in the painting I attempted to paint my dad's painting, which is one of my favorite's from the show, and is called...rotating universe.
Oh and I will be posting some more new stuff soon!


I Just have to say one thing... that I love the summer afternoon!

la playa


here is one part for the two pieces for my cookbook, for the recipe of "patatas bravas" with aioli of course, once I put the second illustration I'll explain what this amazing simple dish is.... well is just fantastic! for summer specially!

and these are for a drink in spain that I drank at the beach when I was young, it came on little glass bottles with the cacaolat font and yellow bg...memories!

lady in red


I've been keeping quiet busy during the week, but I'm working on my cookbook during the weekends specially. Here is soomething I did the other day (not for the cookbook) just for the pleasure of painting :)

plaza and bakery








One of the main inredients in Spaniard cooking is of course real... crunchy in the outside and soft in the inside BREAD! Fresh rustic bread every day from the Baker down the street.

gift


I'm spending the holiday break with my family and my aunt that came to visit us from Spain, and this is a gift for her, she loves red and fashion so hopefully she'll like it.

STEP123


And I'm slowly getting back into my cookbook, on the 15 of this month I got a formal review of my work, which will be presented by my mentor to the other directors, and we'll see how it goes, I'm not even allowed to be in the room... kind of scary.
Here is step by step on how to make bread w/ tomato, I'm thinking on illustrating a step by step for each recepie. I think it would be fun.

sample#2







So we had an informal review last Friday of our work we've been doing so far. It was all of our mentors and us. It went pretty good, and they gave us pretty good feedback for our next formal review on december 14th, that one is the one to worry about!
So besides all that I've been doing at disney, I got an interview at the character design blog!
So thanks Randall!!!!!

Sevillanas


Here are a few tiny paintings of sevillana
dancers in a party I did for the

Bread with tomato


I've been quite busy lately, I have a few things I've been working on the side. But I did this painting last night, and then I had to make this dish because I was getting hungry. Is basically slices of real artisian whole wheat bread, then you cut a tomato in half and you rub it on the bread, then you drizzle some olive oil and go and a bit of salt and is ready to go!!

home sweet home!

Wow! now I'm starting to get real busy at Disney! ...But I like it! Its lots of fun working in actual real projects! But the days go by sooooo quickly! Everyday is just too short.

This is part of a freelance, that I guess they didn't need it anymore, but it was fun doing these, they 're very tiny.

family recepie!


This one is another cold soup, is so delicious! Is white garlic soup!
Is made with almonds and lots of garlic! because we spaniards love garlic!!!



Everyone is gossiping about Grandma's recepie!!!!!!!!!!!

Ailoli!


This is for the best garlic spread ever! Ailoi







This is a really delicious cold summer soup:
"Gazpacho"

hot chocolate!!!

The painting with the kids will be for a really good Spanish traditional hot chocolate drink. Is very different from the typical hot chocolate, this one is very, very thick and rich, that you got to eat it with a spoon!!!! So Good!
