I will celebrate

The last 2 days I have been working none stop in some paintings for Christmas presents and I feel *AWESOME*. My wish for the next year is just to do this every single day and not be more worry about my graphic and web designs clients.That will be great, right?. Waking up in the morning knowing I’ll be drawing the whole day is the best thing ever. I love the feeling of being my own boss and create my own crazy schedule (because I know my schedule is just plain crazy!). Many times people come to me trying to make me understand who they “think” I should modify the way I work and how to prioritize my tasks. Many time I understand what the mean, and maybe they are right… but I *LOVE* the way I manage my time. Of course sometimes I feel really overwhelmed with tons of things in my to do list, but it’s my crazy life and I really enjoy it.

The other day I was looking at Lisa’s shop and I saw this super duper perfect print:

LOVE IT. Next time somebody come and try to make me change the way I work, I’ll just point the print ;) *PERFECT* J

Regardless all my happiness because I’m doing artwork for Christmas presents, I still can’t feel the Holiday spirit! So weird.. and Christmas is next week! I guess being away my family is the main reason I can’t feel in 100% holiday mood.. BUT in some way this year is going to be different because (as I told in other post) my parents are coming to be with me on New Year and my birthday!

So… I’ll try to keep that in mind and start celebrating the season. To start the celebration mood, here some gift tags for you J

And tomorrow I’ll post a couple of new things and a special 3 days offer! Come back tomorrow and celebrate with me!

New Artwork



I’ll be part of “Small Stuff 3”, a group exhibition here in South Florida. These are 2 of the artwork I’m going to send right now ;)

I really like to work in little canvases (these are 6 x 6) but I’m looking forward to painting in a huge canvas or maybe like a big mural! That will be cool.

OK. I’m off to the post office and to get ready for this weekend. Hopefully the weather is going to be a little cooler here in Miami and I’ll enjoy some outside activites, like Art in the Park and the South Miami Art Festival... and of course I'll watch a lot of football too ;)

Happy weekend!

Time to change

I decide it’s time to do some changes in my life (again!). I like changes… Changes make me set new goals and keep my head on track. Last weeks have been pretty busy working but not working in what I love. My dream is to be a fulltime artist. Sometimes I feel so close to my dream and sometimes I feel really far away. Yesterday, I woke up with a new determination. If I want to follow my dream, I have to focus and don’t let external factors mess up with my “master plan” J It’s not a easy path, but is the path I decide to follow and I feel pretty confident right now.


And I’m telling you all this just to explain a little bit the changes I’m doing here in my blog!. I want to keep things easy to find. Now in the right side of the blog, you will find the direct links to sign up for my newsletter (I’ll send the newsletter next week!), the kids inspired prints, the digital files and the new 2010 calendars (coming soon!).


Tons of changes and new plans are coming soon. A lot of new things… a lot of great things.


In other news, between changing and planning I found the time to finish all my “Traveling Digital Collage” prints! I’ll start posting the prints in my shop this weekend, and also, I will post the original canvas in my shop too!

Hope you have a great weekend J
