Prime! The Animation 14

Last week I had the immense luck to be invited as a speaker and member of the jury of "Prime! The Animation 14" (an animation festival organized by the Valencia University of Fine Arts). These past few days have filled me up to the brim with inspiration and hope about our future, not only in the animation industry, but in the whole artist community. Creativity is now more important than ever and I couldn't be happier to find such a passionate group of humans fighting for it, story after story, frame after frame. I'm SO proud and thankful to have met you all!!

Mil gracias a toda la organización por invitarme (en especial a Sergio, Nuria y Rocío por hacerme todo TAN fácil) y a todxs lxs asistentes, estudiantes y compañerxs por tanta inspiración, risas, paseos, Arte, comidas deliciosas y bailes. ¡Sois un verdadero regalo!

My second article for "Character Design Quarterly" #36 "Digging for inspiration is out!!

Check out what just arrived home  My second article for the magazine Character Design Quarterly #36 "Digging for inspiration" is out!! This time around I unravel the step by step of my creative process using as an example the character design of "Mary" from my personal project "Anning's fossil depot".

It made me SO happy to see the article printed on such quality paper and I LOVED how the editorial team created this wonderful layout design for its pages. Thank you so so so much to the Character Design Quarterly for inviting me once again to publish with them, it's always a pleasure!

La Madriguera 🐀🐀🐀

Still processing what happened over the past couple of weeks at @tallerlamadriguera... This art residency has given me SO much more than I could ever imagine :.) I learnt a myriad of new techniques thanks to the generosity and guidance of the wonderful Paula Bonet, confirmed my eternal love for oil painting after 15 years since the last time I used it, discovered new authors, writers and painters, strolled around beautiful Barcelona and met the most amazing humans along the way! This experience has reignited a creative fire in me and I’m willing to keep this flame burning. Manifesting to have my very own little painting studio at some point in the future 🔥🔥🔥

Millones de gracias de nuevo @paulabonet por toda tu generosidad, ganas y cariño; a @clioosfera por inspirarnos y dedicarnos su tiempo y energía y a mis compañeras ratonas @chinadelrio, @paulagcochon y @mave.artist por alimentar este fueguito creativo de la mañana a la noche en nuestra Madri. Estoy segura de que esta no será la última vez que nos veamos ❤️❤️❤️
