Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators Mid Year Workshop
Last Month I attended the SCBWI Mid-year workshop at Walt Disney Coronado Resort.

Made sure to take the Digital Workshop Track in which four speakers discussed the process of making picture book apps and e-Books. After the workshops Lucy Cummins was one of the awesome Art Directors critiquing my portfolio. She suggested I start a Daily sketch project on my blog which is one of her many excellent Ideas!

The Candileja
La Candileja is said to be the spirit of a vicious old woman, who was in charge of her grandchildren but neglected to teach then any moral principles, so they grew up as murderers and thieves. In the afterlife she was damned to travel around the world surrounded by flames.
Illustration Friday: Launch Kites
This week topic on Illustration Friday is launch and the first thing to came to my mind is launching a kite from the top of a mountain.. My cousin Felipe and I use to make kites with craft paper, sticks, and strings sometimes the strings would snap and they would fly away from us.
Esta semana en Illustration Friday el tema es lanzamiento y lo primero que me vino a la mente es el lanzamiento de una cometa desde la cima de una montaña .. Mi primo Felipe y yo hacemos cometas con papel artesanal, palos, y cuerdas. A veces las cuerdas se rompería y volarían lejos de nosotros.

Guardián del Bosque
Guardián del Bosque
As a little girl I always felt like I had a someone watching over me, especially the days I would wonder through the forest close to my grandfather's farm alone. Sometimes in this forest I would see things that I couldn't really explain, observe blinking lights, hear weird sounds and see figures manifesting themselves. Maybe those were spirits of Ancestors lurking past generations that lived in the farm.
Cuando era pequeña siempre me sentí como si hubiera alguien cuidando de me, especialmente cuando me gustaría ir a el bosque cercano a la finca de el abuelo sola. A veces, en este bosque vera cosas querealmente no me podía explicar, observar las luces parpadeantes, escuchar sonidos extraños y vera figuras que se manifiestan. Tal vez esos eran los espíritus de los antepasados que vivieron en la finca.

Life has really been a really intense last couple of months of 2010, it defiantly felt like my world came crashing down. Towards the end of November I decided to moved out of my family’s house due domestic problems. It was time to move away from a bad situation something I should of done much sooner.. Extremely lucky to have very incredible boyfriend Jonathan who is helping me in every way he can. Jonathan cheers me up whenever I think negative and can stand me when I am grumpy or stressed, We just celebrated our 2nd Anniversary and I took Jon to see the Cirque de Soliel show Kooza which is in town. Last weekend I bought my first car which made me into a Nervous wreck I been needing to do for a while it was a 2011 Nissan Versa in a electric blue this a step for the many things I need to continue pursuing. New Art work will be posted soon working on a couple illustrations including a redesign of my identity and website. Wishing everyone alot of new and exciting Adventures for 2011!
