๐ธ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐๐ - Got inspired by @grupodeautoayudadedibujo and many other illustrators that have been making hand drawn versions of their starter packs to show who's boss in the era of AI biting on our style. Second slide is an uncensored version of how I made my organically grown, locally sourced illustration in procreate.
What would be on your starter pack? โ๏ธ๐

๐ Digital Flyer Archive - 2016 to 2024 ๐
Iโve been looking back and archiving some past work, so I decided to put together most of the flyers I have created for the underground music scene in the last 8 years. I feel this time span really shows a good range of my work as well as some experimentation and growth. Will add more as I go!
Thanks to everyone that has trusted me with your flyers through the years! ๐ค

๐นย Music by me | Slime Track I - El รngel Exterminador
๐๏ธโ๐จ๏ธ If you like origin stories:
Since my coming of age in Mexico City - my hometown - I have been working with the underground music scene as a visual artist. So when I came to โVancouverโ I naturally fell into the groove and was really able to cut my teeth and mature my style. You could say music has become my niche and favourite community to work with and serve ๐ฅ
This year will mark my 10 anniversary of having moved here and I feel very proud of what I have accomplished regardless of limitations Iโve had due to immigration. So it feels like a good way to celebrate that & that I finally received my Permanent Residency + you get to know a little bit more or my lore and past designs.
Slime Studio is officially open for business โ๏ธ
While thereโs still a lot to do as I build my slime kingdom - I am now open to commisions :)
Youโll find in my link in bio some links to get us started on a design quest โ๏ธโ๏ธ If you have any questions DM, email or fill the contact form.
I will be doing some shop updates and launching some ceramic pieces in the near future so stay tuned! ๐
On this IG Iโll be posting some past work, new work, inspo, updated and more. Let me know if thereโs anything youโd like to see here or in the shop.
Yours truly,
Max - The Slime Boss

Should I make some painterly character stickers?
๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ โ a glimpse into a night time sketchbook session โ
Over the past 6 months I have been dealing with an ongoing chronic health condition and working with analogue media again, which has been a sanctuary for me and my path towards healing. After several years of mostly doing digital work, it's helped me connect with a part of me that has existed for longer than my days of screen time and I don't think I can relegate it ever again ๐ฅน I have been drawing on paper for as long as I can remember and I have been loving to experiment with different materials.
On that note: I'm considering to start a sketchbook tier on Substack and also sharing more of my process outside of this platform. It was fun to try this but short form videos are rotting our brain and I want to take care of yours and mine.
Let me know if you'd be interested in this ๐ค
