I’m very happy and proud, it will be my second time on this project.
Here you can see my contribution, I was planning a more ambitious piece but sadly work and real life forced me to do something fast to produce, but I will keep my initial project for next MM.
On the mailmeart.com site you can see the other artist contributions, lots of talent and great art pieces. Oh! and cool videos like this one

25 years of Illustration. Exhibition

Yesterday, 10th March, ended the exhibition “25 years of illustration at Llotja”, I had some of my recent jobs exhibited there.
The exhibition was held in the Centre d’Artesania de Catalunya, an art exhibition center of the Catalonia Government, is located in the old town, in the center of Barcelona, near Las Ramblas.

The exhibit was displaying the last 25 years of illustration in Catalonia done by illustrators trained in La Llotja, the official Arts & Crafts School.
Was great to see what the old friends are currently doing, and discover that some of the great illustration colleagues you can see around, are also from the school.

 

UPDATE**
From March 19th to April 19th this exhibition will be open again, this time at the Espai Nau U of the School Llotja de Sant Andreu, carrer Pare Manyanet, nº 40, Barcelona http://www.llotja.cat

Ménagerie de Paris

Last November I made a trip for work to Paris, I succeed to get some spare time to visit the zoo, La Ménagerie, le Zoo du Jardin des Plantes. A charming place from 1794 with lovely art deco buildings, it’s like a trip to a XIX century zoo.

Panellets!

I was thinking on doing some art for Halloween, but we don’t celebrate Halloween.
So I decided to do some art about what I really celebrate on November 1st eve.
The eve of All Saints’ Day (1 November) we use to meet with friends and family to remember our passed ones while eating toasted chestnuts  sweet potatoes, drinking sweet wine (Moscatell) and eating panellets. I love Panellets!
Panellets are small sweets, made of marzipan, the most common are rolled in pine nuts and varnished with egg white, but there are other flavors like vanilla, quince, chestnut, or hazelnut. These are the ones waiting for me on my pantry.

Sketches at Precolumbian art museum

Recently, i read the museum of Pre-Columbian art Barbier-Mueller of Barcelona will close next September. Sadly, the whole content has been sold to a collector, so no idea how and when the pieces there will be seen in public again.
I’m a fan of pre-colubian art, and I enjoyed my previous visits at the Barbier Mueller, despite is not a vast collection it contains some really cool pieces.
So last week after delivering a long and intense project, i decided to grab some spare time sketching at the museum before it’s definitely closed.
