Sketching a Story... or History??

Once upon a time, a city.
A city with high buildings painted in many different colours, a city with a tree that was as high as the skyscrapers. In that city there were no cars, everyone arrived or left by air balloon, the sky was always blue, even when it snowed or rained, and the night never came. 
 On the top of the tree lived a whole village of small people, they never came down, they toke care of the tree,  the tree gave the Skyscraper People air, and the Skyscraper People gave the little people food. This was a city in harmonie.
 One day a strange fat man arrived by balloon. He had a high hat, a big moustache and with him e brought two really big leather cases. He called upon the people of the city and told them a sweet story about the capitalist world where he came from, a world where everyone was rich and living the dream, and that he wanted to bring this world to them. Then he told them to open the two leather cases, and inside them was paper - many little pieces of paper that the fat man called money. "With enough of this you can get whatever you want!" he said. But the Skyscraper people and the Little people didn't understand and told him that they were not interested, but that he was welcome to stay as long as he wished, that he could eat their food and refresh himself under the big tree, and then they left. And so did the fat man.

Not many days had passed, when the little people saw in the sky something that was not an air balloon. Hundreds of machines came by air and ground, making the city tremble. On the top of one of those machines was the fat man. He said that he knew about the weapons hidden under the big tree, and that he would not allow terrorism in the world. So he took the Skyscraper People that opposed his as his slaves and with his machines he felled the big tree and killed the little people. Then right away he started digging. Deep he went but no weapons were found. He kept digging for days and then something happened, a jitter of black thick liquid flew into the sky. The fat man and the capitalists all started laughing and for the first time night fell over the city.

Tattoo for a Boy!

I was going to call this blog entry "A sketch on a Boy", but it would be wrong cause i am actually not a tattoo artist so i don't  sketch on people, at least for now :)
 Mathias Lost his mother at a young age, and he his been thinking about showing his love and how much he misses her, through art, art on his body. Some people would call this a cliché, but it is not. Some people, just like me love tattoos just for what the are, art on the skin, but some need that art to be special and have a bigger meaning, i think it is cool to show your feelings on a tattoo, something that is permanent, unless that it is the name of your boyfriend or girlfriend, that i would advise you not to. Remember Tattoos last forever, Love don't!  


 But back to the sketch, well Mathias is now old enough and save some "dollars" to get his first ink, and he asked me if i wanted to draw it for him. Of course i said yes, not just for the fun of it, but to make such a meaningful sketch and know that someone is actually ready to wear it everyday for the rest of hid life, it is a big deal. So we met over a coffee and a portion "Nachos" and he explain what he was thinking for the tattoo design, and so i went home and started sketching it, i am done now, and sent it to him, i really hope he likes it!
 I am going to post here some stages of the process, the final one is the one in black and white, but i could not let it go and colored it just for fun. 


I really hope that you enjoy it as much i do, Peace!!
