I've been very busy last months, between many projects and some personal issues, so I couldn't updated my blog at the rhythm I would like. I want to keep this as a register of the things I've done, because, as many as you may know (especially people that is closer to me) I don't have a prodigious memory and tend to forget things quite easily, so I prefer to leave this update of some of the projects I've been involved last weeks [btw, sorry for the very probable grammar mistakes, it's an important and new challenge to me to post in english, I'll do it better!]:
My website has a better look and new projects, like the book covers for "Darlah, 172 hours on the moon" and "The line", both part of the youth literature collection of Ediciones Castillo.

Hace unas semanas se inauguró la exposición conmemorativa del 1/4 de siglo en México del maestro Ñiko. Para mi tuvo un sabor especial, tengo la fortuna de ser su asistente desde el año 2005, ayudándolo a confeccionar las piezas para la creación de alrededor de 200 carteles a la fecha. Gracias a él siento un amor y respeto especial por lo que hago, me ha ayudado a encontrar una motivación a seguir mejorando y aprendiendo todos los días, lo admiro como maestro y más lo quiero como amigo.
Como parte del evento colaboré en el diseño y en la museografía, además de hacer un poco de lettering sobre las paredes de la galería. Más información de la exposición en este link.
Few weeks ago, the 1/4 century in Mexico commemorative show of Antonio Pérez Ñiko was opened. It was a very special thing for me, I feel very fortunate of being his assistant since 2005, helping him since to put together the pieces for the creation of about 200 posters until today. Thanks to him, I feel a great love and respect for what I do, he have helped me to find a motivation to keep getting better and learning everyday, I admire him as teacher but I love him more as a friend.
As part of the show I collaborated on the design and museography of the show, also I made some lettering on the gallery walls. More info of the exhibition on this link.

I got a new studio! After think about it for few months, I decided this was the right moment to have a better space, to experiment and work better. This is a new stage of my personal and professional life, I want to use every moment to do more. Soon I will share some photos of the studio when ready.
