My first graphic on a snowboard!! , introducing the Boreas by @pantheonboards . This time I took a more abstract approach to cover larger areas of the the surface while letting the wood veneer show through. Looks amazing and also looks like a blast to ride. Here goes some of my process to come up with the ideas behind the graphic. #skateboardgraphics #snowboardgraphics
Meet the @papa.lupus ! A year ago some friends started a band, I wanted to do illos for them but ended up joining also at the rhythmic guitar ā¦and I had never played more than a few chords!! šā¦ itĀ“s been an intense year of learning on the go but sooo much fun. We recently did our first show in a proper venue and it was a blast to see my visuals on a large screen while playing music with friends. Here go some concert highlights and comments about the animations and drawings, mostly done on the ipad using @procreate and @mental_canvas with other apps and desktop editing software . Hopefully an ongoing personal project that will last many many years !! š. Papalupus are frontman : @bala7perdida , lead guitar @guillermeo , bass : @alex_garrido_lopez , @ricardbass at the drums and yours truly at the rhythmic guitar.
