Ultimamente me han llegado muchas ideas creativas y personajes fantásticos. Sólo les digo, que estoy preparando cositas poco a poco (sí, pues debo terminar algunos proyectos que tengo aún en agenda primero) una colección de mis personajes principales favoritos de literatura infantil clásica.

Les adelanto uno de ellos, una de las versiones, de varias que quiero hacer de “Pinocchio“.

Illustration Friday: Worn

English below.

La naturaleza está perdiendo vida. Ya no brilla,  no se siente, ni respira, ni  sabe, ni se ve como antes. Cultivemos, conectemos con el coraz♥n de la Madre Tierra. Los invito a que tan pronto tengamos la oportunidad y el espacio, a que sembremos nuestros propios jardines y huertos, y que sea su fruto el que te de frutos, vida y energía en tu Vida y Alma. Todavía la semilla original existe, conviértela en tu más preciado tesoro. No permitas que las mentes “vacías+idiotas+entumecidas” te quiten el control que tienes en tus manos.

He aquí mi contribución para el tópico de Illustration Friday de esta semana: “Worn”. La Naturaleza te pertenece, haz buen uso de ella.

—-

Nature is worn out. It doesn’t smell, taste, shine, look and breath like it used to. Make a connection with the Heart of Mother Nature, she is talking to us. Treat the seeds as treasures, because  they will feed your soul. I invite you as soon as we have the chance and space, to create our own gardens,  to seed our owns cultures. It is time to take action and don’t let the “Numb+Dumb+Shallow Minds” control the power you have in your hands. Nature is totally yours, “She” is just waiting for you to surrender, make a fantastic use of it.

Here is my contribution for this week’s topic: “Worn”, for Illustration Friday. (above)

1. Because I want to thank YOU that smile with and love my art. You, that are loyal, that always come back and visit me in spite of that I don’t update my blog too often (at least for the moment), and  for you, that anxiously wait for new works to be shown. You, that has become my friend, and for those around the world that visit this blog…thank you.

2. Because you believe in me and my artwork makes you happy.

3. I am giving because you make me happy.

*Spread the word!!*
And this is not all!  My June contribution for “Feed your Soul” a free art project from Indie Fixx, is now available for download HERE. There are many nice designs to choose from other artists that are participating.

And last, but not less important. I was invited along with many other great international artists/illustrators to contribute for: The Garden Of Eye Candy book and it is available! It is such a beautiful book. Sadly, I don’t own a copy yet so, if someone would like to give me a birthday present, this is what I wish. You can buy it here or here, and at many other stores (google it). ^_^

The Garden Of Eye Candy:

Between the boundaries of fine and popular art and high and low culture, reside Id driven impulses and alter egos as toys, cartoon characters, and iconic images. From the whimsical to adorable, erotic to innocent, to the dark and gothic, they lure us into their lush worlds of fairy tales, dreams and inspiration. The Garden of Eye Candy introduces us to immaculate illustrations that enshroud the viewer s perception and gives flight to the imagination with each adventure and every character presented. The Garden of Eye Candy introduces an international roster of artists – the fore runners of these Surrealist inspired creations – in a luxurious and exquisite box set. With contributions from Cabizbaja, Candybird, Dolly Didit, Jaime Zollars, Kennys Work, Kukulaland, Lisa Petrucci, Amy Sol, Melanie Florian, Mijnschatje, Noferin, Brandt Peter, Danielle Lamberti, Kokomoo, Majeakann, Mark Bodnar, Rmyers Art, Saul Zanolari, Luke Chueh and more.

Prepare to feed your soul.

Hello friends!  I am working on a illustration assignment, and I will be absent until middle-end of June (HECTIC DAYS!!). Some of the good news is that I have been invited by Jen Wallace from Indie Fixx to participate on a beautiful free art project: Feed Your Soul.

Meanwhile here are sneak picks of my contribution. I will be letting you know when is available for free download. More good things here.

Little birdie says:

“Pick one majeakal fruit…”

“Feed your soul while you enjoy the juicy sweetness…”

More good things to come. Since many of you know, I started blogging on 2005. But, on June, this blog will be celebrating its 3rd Aniversary.  I want to thank YOU for visiting this blog, for being so kind, for always coming back, I will do a raffle!☻ Stay tuned…

Fruits for your Soul

Pick one! From the sky-tree: hoola-peach, eonna-orange and dorry-apple. And you will smile and dance. Your soul will be grateful.

Hey! I haven’t forget to show you what was behind the door, remember? Thank you for always for coming back to my blog, for your kind comments. Have sweet days my friends!

Impossible?

Possible, yes…

She opened that door, because she knew there were tons of possibilities waiting for her. The dog knew. She knew. That everything was possible. On March 13,  when I first showed this sketch, she was going to open the door. So she did. Would you like to know what she has found inside? Stay tuned…

For Illustration Friday’s week theme: Impossibility.

This is a drawing I did a couple days ago on a paper covered table from Macaroni & Grill.

I left my mark there, I always do. But I wonder, if they ever keep my drawings? What would you do? O_o

Have a sweet week my friends! ♥

Do-doodle

I like to doodle. Mini doodles (mostly cute dolls), coming right out of my mind.They are fresh and spontaneous, that is what I like from it. No much thinking. In any random paper, with or without lines. Just Anywhere. What can I do? If this is something I love. ♥

Here I just printed my “Dragonfly” illustration and is flying all the way to Australia pretty soon. It will be a sweet gift for this special lady I just met because of the dragonfly. I like it. It turned out brilliant and nice.

Just noses

My nose while taking a SUN bath yesterday (very brilliant day by the way). This is a completely random silly post. Looking at the cloud I noticed it drew a face itself, so I elongated its nose. Do you see it?

Kitty nose, from Coraline CD (Unabridged) written and performed by Neil Gaiman. Bought it, I believe in year 2002? Found it the other day.

And it “meow” me!

My nose again.

Let’s sneak for little birds in a Honey-noon-sun.

This doodle was post it on my old blog. And for those who never got to visit my old blog when it was o.k. (majeakann.com) I have to announce it doesn’t exist anymore it-is-DEAD. If you browse for majeakann.com it will show a webpage that is entirely NOT mine. It is not mydomain anymore. Someone took it and took advantage of  the name (I got really mad) . But I am fine and not worry because in the near future (hopefully this year) I will be able to have a new domain (like .net, or else). I will be all letting you know when is up. Have a very positive week ahead! ♥ + ☻

It is everywhere

Life. Is. Everywhere.

Do something, it doesn’t matter what, but do it. Don’t remain static for too long. Look for a change. Sing, dance, draw, call someone, play, share, be silent, stitch, create from “nothing” and you will be amazed. You will also find the “majeak” all around.
