Wherein I show a few things I make. (6 images)

This is a post I like to make in the social networks I join. Though, they seldom gets much interest, really.

First I'll start with a small list of things I'm "working" on. One of the perks of having a healthy curiosity is that you often feel a need to pursue very different activites from time to time.

I started with programming, then I took a "sabatical decade" to pursue traveling and art.
Until recently, last year, I managed to acquire a new computer which helped me get a few gigs and coinz.
Right now I'm designing a small, short and cute videogame about a girl and her cats. Any coincidence is merely similar.

This is a little screenshot of my code in C#

Another thing I had going on was that I've always liked to draw. Apparently, my mind works weird in a way, so often I find that in my mind there's always at least two things at the same time.
I've been told this is impossible, but I'm not sure.

It feels like, I'm "seeing" things with my mind's eye and at the same time I am commenting on whatever, either what's around me, or what I'm imagining, or something completely unrelated. I strongly suspect that this is not as uncommon as they say, but rather, more people have very little imagination!

So, I always have liked to do those strange looking doodles with squiggly lines and amorphous shapes.

I like to believe that they are somewhat aesthetically pleasing, the truth is darker and derranged.
They are something that I describe as "snapshots" of my current mental process.
Every shape, line, shading and apparent form has a meaning which is only decipherable if you have my inner mental context.

But the cool thing is that many people can find some sort of meaning with their own context. So, while I see something very particular and specific, people always surprise me with what meaning they find there. Really interesting.

As a result of this practice, I've recently (4 years or so) started to try to make more "figurative" art, trying to portrait actually-exsiting objets in my own style. I'm not a fan of hyperrealism, because that requires much more time and energy than what I can spend on it.

As you can see, I prefeer a more cartoonish style. Anime ruined my life. Currently I'm working with watercolors mostly, I kind of like the coloured pencils too, but the problem is that you need to have lots of different shades to really make a good work. And with watercolor, with a fairly minimalist pallete you can achieve a very wide range of color tones. Besides, they're much more portable :D

This is one of the latest I tried with the coloured pencil. Its supposed to be a work-in-progress design of a wizard who lives in the middle of the forest, whose daughter is the main character in the game project.

I think I should make a post about it, maybe.

Anyway, in order to get coinz for surviving while I do these things, I sell the art I make in the street. That's how we travelled in 8 states in Mexico so far, 24 states to go. I hope to be able to claim to have at least stepped on all and every state of Mexico.

This is my "tendido", my little vagrant shop. This is more or less what I use to carry my art, which in this photo is actually a small sample. It's missing my drawings for example. Every day I make a few new things. Every day, I sell a few things. They all carry a little piece of my heart.

One of the trouble with traveling a bunch is that modern electronics are poorly designed to withstand kilometers.
This is what my old computer, poor thing, a frankenputar. I think it's pieces of 3 laptops.

Fortunately, it's retired now, as I've managed to acquire a new one, thanks to a lovely friend who was nice enough to gift me one! That's crazy. But I'll love her forever.

Well this is already too long, so I guess I'll let this go up now.

Thank you for your time!
