Postcards
I'm in an art-card correspondence with some of my old grad school classmates. They have been diligent in sending me cards consistently. Me on the other hand ...
However, they are in for a dark treat this Xmas. Take a look at some of the cards I'm working on. Are they in the holiday spirit? not necessarily, but they were sure fun to draw.
The first card is from the opening chapter of my favorite book, One Hundred Years of Solitude. It shows Colonial Buenda facing the firing squad.
The next image is of an exorcism. It's based loosely on a Posada engraving. I found a great site of Posada's work on line, if anyone is interested, http://elibrary.unm.edu/cswr/posada/
Last one is Dr. Strange from Marvel Comics. He's one of my favorite heroes. I'm sending this drawing to a friend who requested some work of mine to ink over. He's interested in being an inker in the mainstream comics biz and wants to try inking over someone else's work. Owen is really talented, I'm sure he will improve on my drawing ten fold. I'm looking forward to seeing it. You can see Owen's fine work at

Hey, Andres! I Googled you to see what you were up to and whamo, here you are. This is awesome stuff, man. Illustrating Garcia Marquez is brilliant, dude. You should illustrate that entire novel (or even a short story) and I'm certain that's a million-dollar idea. How's the baby girl? Great, I bet. I've been meaning to call you but I lost my damn phone and am barely getting around to getting everyone's number! Please e-mail it to me when you can!
Keep up the good work...
