GORDICUKIES 1

The other week a friend of mine started sewing little plush toys. They are awesome and crazy. All have different personalities and are too cute. I thought, hey I can do that too. But knowing my lack of patience I decided instead to illustrate new characters. From a doodle the Gordicukies were born! By the way Gordicukie is kinda like a nice nickname for someone who's chubby.

Here's ñemo, he's an emo kid always so sad and mad at the World. He says he's depressed. Why so sad little ñemo??? But don't be fooled by his appearance, his little shirt cost like $100.

Paintings for AmEx project

oil on illustration board, 18x24"

A couple of years ago, AmEx wanted something new for their Annual Christmas Sale at Plaza Las Americas. I met with the client and suggested the topic of a childish christmas. AmEx is very political correct so I couldn't use any christian imagenery. I presented the three pieces and after a hard decition they used the toys and the christmas tree, but I had to eliminate the ornaments from the tree. The image of the tree was used all over the mall in gigantic banners.
