Super Hero!, Super Strenght!, Super...late! hehehehe ok, so this was a very very late submission.

...on the radio


On the radio...

This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse
Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone
Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam
Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay
But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees
Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease
Would leave the ones we love
And never come again

On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long
But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep

This is how it works
You're young until you're not
You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry
You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath

No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself
You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made
And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood
And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does
You'll just do it all again

And on the radio
You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain
You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio
(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio

Illustration Friday- 80's

Based on the 80's song by Nena- 99 red balloons

What you couldn't do I will..


It's been a long year
Since we last spoke
How's your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can't get used to it
I can't get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'll never get used to it

I'm under that night
I'm under those same stars
We're in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that've betrayed you?
I wanna burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn't do I will
I forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I forgive you

For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
For blue, blue skies
I'll forgive you

For blue skies, strays dont sleep

Don't mess with me!

They can't break me...




I am a question to the world,

Not an answer to be heard.
All a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway…
You don't know me,
And I’ll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man..
You can take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same.
The don’t know me,
'Cause I’m not here.

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same.
They can’t see me,
But I’m still here.

They can’t tell me who to be,
‘Cause I’m not what they see.
And the world is still sleepin’,
While I keep on dreamin’ for me.
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I’ll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can they say I never change
They’re the ones that stay the same.
I’m the one now,
‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m the one,
‘Cause I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.

John Rzeznik, Im still here


A bike!


Custom made for a friend whose bike just got stolen :)

Meaning



Run



I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

Snow patrol, final straw

Where did I go wrong...?

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

(how to save a life, The fray)

Betrayal...?


I know its not a knife, and its a sword, but what an amazing FRIENDS quote that is...

Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

We'll do it all
Everything
On our own

We don't need
Anything
Or anyone

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel

Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's burstin’ into life

Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads

I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

All that I am
All that I ever was
It’s here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see

I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things
Will never change for us at all

If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Illustration Friday- Phoenix

What a way to start using my new pencils :D! Happy new year everyone...
Here's my take on Phoenix.
2 versions, one colored in photoshop using a wacom tablet :)


Que manera de comenzar el año, que usando mis nuevos lápices! Feliz año nuevo a todos!
Aqui esta mi interpretacion de fénix.
2 versiones, una coloreada con Photoshop usando una tableta Wacom :)

Just a dream...3 to 8







Just a dream...1 and 2

Playing too much with photoshop can have serious effects...like 7 different version for this besides the original...
Based on the quote from Lifehouse- somewhere in between.


Jugar demasiado con photoshop puede tener serios efectos...como 7 diferentes versiones para esto, aparte del original.
Basado en una frase de la canción de Lifehouse- somewhere in between.

...Wondering

Just wondering...

Illustration friday- Help

While thinking of this weeks topic "help" I could only think of the feeling when you need help and you feel a conforting hand on your shoulder letting you know everything will be all right.


2 versions, one with blur, and one without.



wacom tablet, photoshop

Mientras pensaba en el tema de esta semana "ayuda" solo pude pensar en el sentimiento cuando necesitas ayuda y sientes una mano confortandote en el hombro que te hace saber que todo va a estar bien.

2 versiones, una con y sin blur

Illustration friday- Mask


(Photoshop, Staedtler triplus fineliners)

You must remember this...

Finish Line





The earth is warm next to my ear
Insects noise is all that I hear
A magic trick makes the world disappear
The skies are dark, they're dark but they're clear

A distant motorcade and suddenly there's joy
The snow and tickertape blurs all my senses numb
It's like the finish line where everything just ends
The crack of radios seems close enough to touch

Cold water, cleaning my wounds
A side parade, with a single balloon
I'm done with this, I'm counting to ten
Blue as seas, running to them

I feel like I am watching everything from space
And in a minute I'll hear my name and I'll wake
I think the finish line's a good place we could start
Take a deep breath, take in all that you could want

Illustration friday- Might

The semester and finals are over, so there might be a new beggining right around the corner just as another day starts...
Wacom Tablet, photoshop.

El semestre y los finales han terminado, asi que puede haber un nuevo comienzo justo a la vuelta de la esquina, de la misma manera que otro día comienza...

Illustration friday- Wind

If only the wind could take away all those thoughts in the same way it moves away the leaves...

Si tan solo el viento pudiera llevarse todos esos pensamientos de la misma forma en que aleja las hojas...

Illustration friday- Ghost

Better late than ever...that's all I've got to say.

Mas vale tarde que nunca...es lo único que tengo que decir.

Illustration friday- Smitten

Its been a while since I posted for Illustration Friday, school and life tend to get a little bit demanding, therefore the little time left in our hands is spent sleeping. The one thing about sleeping I like the most, (besides the obvious rest), its dreaming. The girl in my drawing is smitten about dreaming of the loved one.

pencil on post it

A pasado un poco de tiempo desde que subí algo a Illustration Friday, la escuela y la vida tienden a volverse un poco más demandantes, por lo que el poco tiempo que queda en nuestras manos se ocupa durmiendo. Lo que más me gusta de dormir (además el obvio descanso) es soñar. La chica de mi dibujo esta "smitten" (no se cual sea la traducción literal :S) al soñar con el ser amado.

Illustration friday- Clean

For this clean post, I got the idea of a "clean concience", therefore I was in the making of a bedroom with a kid sleeping...somewhere in the way I ended up with this. I guess you could see it as what would happen if you didnt cleaned your bedroom...hehe.

This are the two version s I did.



Para este post de "limpio", tuve la idea de una conciencia limpia. Asía que estaba haciendo un niño en su cuarto duermiendo...en algún momento terminé con esto. Y supongo que podríamos verlo como lo que podría pasar si alguien no limpiara su cuarto...jeje
Estas son las 2 versiones que hice.

Inspire me thursday- Music

This is a quick drawing inspired in the one tree hill volume 2 soundtrack...

Este es un rápido dibujo inspirado en el soundtrack de one tree hill, volumen 2...

Illustration friday- Opposites

For this illustration friday I took the idea from someone who know who Im talking about...Here in
Mexico we have been living a feud between 2 candidates and 2 political parties, which are completely opposite...Hopefully before sept. 6th, things will be better. The blue and yellow refers to the color of the political parties.

Para este illustration friday tome la idea de alguien que sabe quien es. Aqui en México hemos estado viviendo con una batalla entre 2 candidatos y 2 partidos políticos que son completamente opuestos. Ojalá antes del 6 de septiembre, las cosas estén mejor. El azul y el amarillo se refiere a el color de los partidos políticos.

Inspire me thursday...Numeral Art

Mas vale tarde que nunca. Eso es lo que tengo que decir ahora. La primer cosa que me vino a la mente con numeros fueron los números de las bolas de billar. Asi que aqui está mi ilustración. Hice 2 dibujos, porque en la primera la pared se veía rara, pero me gustó mucho el color de la pared jeje. Aqui están mis 2 intentos...

Better late than ever! Thats what I have to say right now. The one thing that came to my mind with numbers were the numbers of pool balls. So here is my illo. I did 2 pictures, cause somehow the wall in the first one seemed to be weird, but I did like the color a lot. Here are my 2 attempts.

Illustration friday- Sacrifice

For this illustration friday I took my inspiration from the movie "city of angels" with Meg Ryan and Nicolas Cage. The movie is about an angel that falls in love with a doctor. So after hearing Goo goo dolls- Iris and Sarah McLachlan's Angel over and over...I came up with this illustration about sacrifice...
What better sacrifice than giving up eternity just to be with the loved one?

Wacom and photoshop


Para este illustration friday tome mi inspiración de la película "Un ángel enamorado" con Meg Ryan y Nicolas Cage. La película, como el título lo dice es sobre un ángle que se enamora de una doctora. Así que después de escuchar una y otra vez...Goo goo dolls- Iris y Sarah McLachlan con Angel ...Esta fue la ilustración que se me ocurrió de sacrificio...
¿Que mayor sacrificio que renunciar a la eternidad por estar con el ser amado?

Illustration friday- Skyline

For this illustration friday I took my wacom tablet again and started drawing. And this little pop-like drawing came to life. Enjoy!


Para este illustration friday, tome mi tableta wacom de nuevo y comence a dibujar. Y este pequeño dibujo tipo pop cobró vida. Disfrutenlo!

Illustration friday- Sticky

Better late than ever...
Here is my illustration friday post for Sticky. And what could be more sticky than a bottle of glue falling down on the carpet?. Again, pure pencil and eraser. :)


Mas vale tarde que nunca...
Aquí está mi mensaje para illustration friday con el tema de "Sticky" (pegajoso). Y que podría ser mas pegajoso que una botella de resistol cayendo sobre la alfombra?. De nuevo, puro lápiz y goma. :)

Inspire me Thursday- Body Parts

Here is my first entry to inspire me thursday. Pure pencil and eraser, inspired by a pic I saw surfing the web. The picture says "Who's got the key?" in case it might be difficult to read.
ps. sorry for the double link...my mistake



Este es mi primer msg para "inspire me thursday". Puro lapiz y goma, y me inspire con una imagen que encontre navegando por la web. Lo que dice en el dibujo es "Who's got the key?" Osease, quien tiene la llave. Por si no se llega a entender en el dibujo.

Illustration friday- Rain

Ok, so until I get an scanner this is the best version of the sketch I did. Nothing more than my thoughts and pencil here.
Ok, hasta que consiga un scanner esta es la mejor version del sketch que hice. Nada mas que mis pensamientos y lapiz aqui...

Illustration Friday- Jungle

He aqui la jungla que es la ciudad como se ve desde mi ventana.
Here is the jungle that is the city as it is seen through my window


Wacom tablet, photoshop

Illustration Friday- Portrait

Ok, asi que me embarque en esto de las ilustraciones y para mi suerte el tema de esta semana aplica perfecto con lo que ya habia dibujado hace como un mes. Asi que aqui va :)
------------------
Here is "yours truly" for this illustration friday topic. Lucky for me, this was done about a month ago while I was trying to play around coloring in photoshop.

Esperando a bibendum

Después de una ajetreada semana con el gran gigante de las llantas que parece hombre de malvavisco...solo queda la espera. Aparentemente muchos mandamos (jeje) todo esto a último momento y todavía ahorita siguen actualizando el numero de los participantes. Realmente tuvo mucha participación y digo con 100,000 pesos de premio, quien no se iba a animar!
En fin, ahora solo queda esperar y ver.
Pondría a un bibendum de dibujin con esto, pero mejor esta foto de one tree hill que acabo de ver jeje.
