Really really old stuff

My friend Magdalena (she did my website) recently sent me copies of old stuff I kept in my computer in Spain. So it's memory lane type thing today as I'm reviewing some of it.
Good oportunity to update this (lately) rather slow blog.
One of them is a fashion illustration I did shortly after I arrived in Spain in summer 1999. The other a much older piece, a self portrait I did when I was fifteen, rather saturated and impatient as you can see. The original signature bottom left is a total mess, I remember I didn't want to wait for the painting to dry.
That's the spirit!

  5. Marcos! Yay post! The fashion illustration is -beautiful-. I can almost feel the weight to that long mink cape, and the drape of the dress is gorgeous. Like a good, heavy weight silk or matte satin. The folds! They're lovely!

    And if that's a self-portrait? You were -cute- at fifteen. *grins* I like the colours!

  7. Very powerful!! Good grief man....those are beautiful. Great lighting on that dress. It reminds me of when Mucha actually lights his figures. But you have that original Marcos flavoring to spice it up. Great stuff...thanks for posting!!
