Marry (Mysterious) Christmas


It's been quite a mysterious month and a shocking year... you know what I mean, 2009! Don't give me that look!
I like to do Christmas pieces. I always feel the tenderness of people, charming with one another, a la Hardon Sunblom, with his Belly Coca-Cola Santa, giving Macy's gifts to everyone,
for the best of humanity.
However, I wanted to draw something less warming and more mysterious, as the title shows.
I always wondered, "Well, what if Santa didn't know from the top this belly spirit who were
naughty and who were nice? What if there's some sort of spirit that check on us when people
decorate their Christmas trees?" So, hence, I drew one. Some sort of serious lady that
checks on you through Christmas Adornments, if you were good the whole year. Something
creepy to think about, children. A la Grimm Brothers' Stories.

And as for 2009, I still think it was the weirdest, shocking and unfolding year I ever had.
I hope for next year, I'll be able to heal for so many surprises every month I had to deal with.
--------------
Ha sido un mes de misterio y un año de sorpresas... ya sabes a lo que me refiero, 2009! No me
mires con esa carita de yo-no-fui!

Me encanta crear piezas para Navidad. Siempre he sentido el sentimiento suave de las personas,
tratándose bien unas con otras, a la Hardon Sunblom, con su Santa Claus Coca-cola-lero y su
barriguita cálida, dándoles regalos a todos, por el bien de la humanidad.
Sin embargo, quise dibujar algo menos cálido y mas intrigante, como el titulo de mi diario lo
implica. Me he preguntado, "Que tal si Santa no sabe desde el espíritu de su barriguita quienes
han sido buenos o malos? Que tal si hay un espíritu que nos supervisa mientras decoramos
nuestros arboles navideños?" Entonces, he aquí una pieza a tal pensamiento. Una mujercilla
un tanto seria que por medio de las esferas decorativas puede ver si fuiste una buena persona
en todo el año. Algo tenebroso para los niños para que se pongan a pensar, un aire a los cuentos
de los hermanos Grimm.

Ahora, mis pensamientos del 2009, aun pienso que fue el año mas raro, sorprendente y
revelador que he tenido. Espero que en el siguiente año, me pueda recuperar de tanto
trauma que tuve que lidiar cada mes.

Y escuchen a Cuantica Media Radio!

Ay!

Well, I'm here and I'm still drawing. So many adventures to tell! So little space...
Anyways, good news! I passed my citizenship test! Yes, I had a very very nice gentleman to ask me questions and asked about my dreams, and if I was ever coming back to my country to visit. He even had a Colombian Bandanna! So cute!
In other news, my ear was feeling a little bad lately but I am now better. I wonder what happened! Suddenly I had a fever and the next day, my right ear was all weird. Just a couple of days ago I am back to hearing well, but geez, scary! However, the positive from this experience, I can now listen better! Hey, it's good to see the positive... even in sickness.
So, Am I still drawing? Always! Am I still causing trouble? Of course. Am I still a Vegetable sprout?Perhaps. I am leaving you an oil painting that I've done with my hand leaves. I am doing a couple of pieces that I want to make sure they are shiny enough to show off and print them offs. Exciting!
There are still other news I am going to post. Nevertheless, I like to post concrete stuff that is going to happen or have happened! So hence the reason of my delay in posting stuff. But I am always coming back! Like... a vegetable, yes.


Take care!

Oh! And I have a print store! It's new here:

Computer Alzhimer's

It happened a week ago.
I was chilling, cleaning and making some lunch for everybody in the house when suddenly, the computer shuts off. I thought, "this is odd. I guess it restarted because of an update" and didn't think too much about it. When I'm done, I'm talking to my boyfriend and I want to open the file I was working on the night before.
It showed as if it didn't existed.
I became paralyzed and a chill ran over my spine.
I cried, I went numb, I tried to fix it. My boyfriend gave me suggestions, we asked HP Support, etc. In the end, all the files from my dual hard drive disappeared. I mean, the whole hard drive is non-existent! Along with all my files.
I did backed up the ones before May (YES! THESIS WAS SAVED D:) but not afterwards because I back up every three or four months or so, without thinking that my computer was going to pull this one off this soon. So good thing I saved some of my files in jpegs in deviantart and my portfolio online but still, it's sad, sad!

Good news is that I bought a new computer for own sake without a dual hard drive. And that boyfriend has been very supportive and my cousin Melissa's blog is so good... you should read it! At
http://diaryofanillegalimmigrant.blogspot.com/

The bad is what I went through. Not only that but Immigration is being unfair to me in terms of being disorganized about my case. That's a whole story I might write about when it's done and dealt with.

I'll draw to ease my pains...
But I'll post what survived from what I could recover. A picture of one of the ceilings I did for my job:

Harley Quinn



So, I am back!
Well, I helped my sister and it was an amazing wedding!
So, as a warm up, I drew Harley Quinn but I decided to draw her design from the Arkham Asylum video game that is soon to be released.
So here it is! And it was fun!

Estoy de vuelta!
Bueno, ayudéa mi hermana y fue una boda estupenda!
Entonces, para coger el ritmo de dibujar de nuevo, dibujé Harley Quinn pero decidí dibujar su diseño del nuevo video juego de Batman, El Manicomio de Arkham, que esta a punto de estar en tiendas.
Y bueno, aquí esta! Y fue divertido!

Now for a Random Comic Strip




haha, imagine, the idea of my family leaving to another world didn't sink until some days later.
I was just thinking about how everything started when I was reading the test study guide for my citizenship... and then I was like, "I should draw something about this." So there.

Jaja, la idea de que me iba a mudar a un mundo totalmente al mio no lo tomé tan en serio hasta unos cuantos días despies.
Estaba pensando como todo esto empezó para mi mientas revisaba el libro para estudiar el test de la ciudadanía... y despues me dije, "Tengo que dibujar algo al respecto". Y ahí lo tienen.
(Deje el título en inglés porque se ve bien en ambos idiomas).
