...Indeed, Busy, busy lately but here we go again.
Talking about "long time no see", here are a few images of Culver City, where I lived for a few years while working at Sony Animation. These are part of our lunch break sketch routine, we did a lot of that and it certainly was a way to practice and to get to know the area better while paying attention to every detail.
The one with the red canvas in a place called 'Santa Maria Bbq' or something like that, one of our favorite places at the time seen here from another restaurant across the street. The 'fire house' of the city (in white), and finally (in red brown) a location I believe they recently reconverted into 'something', location that at some point in the 80's was used as a stage for some scenes of the original 'Tron' (the video game arcade I believe).
'Talk soon.

Jo, Marcos, ya que estás tan busy, busy, podías contar en qué exactamente. I mean, un largo, un corto, animación tradicional, digital..., un nuevo libro, you know
ReplyDeleteAnoche fue la Gala de los Goya, premios del cine español, mucho nivel este año, unos diseños de producción impresionantes:
'Balada triste de trompeta', 'Lope', has visto 'BUried' con Ryan Reynols? y 'Pa negre' del mallorquín Villaronga ;D
Dentro de nada los Oscar, con algunos diseños de producción también interesantes, ayer vi el western de los Coen, fantástico.
Make me think that I could get into a plane et fly back to LA for a memory tour!
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Monsieur, as usual.
These are amazing (as is everything on this blog). I just bought "Framed Ink". Haven't had a chance to sit down and read it yet, but it came with high recommendations from a few trusted cohorts.
ReplyDeleteCan I ask what your primary inking tools are? You have a distinct, chunky, look to your mark making that really appeals to me.
Thanks,
Pat
-Gracias Susana.
ReplyDeletePues muy liado con cuestiones caseras, todo positivo la verdad, pero muy liado aun asi.
Me perdi los Goya, aunque he de decir por lo que leo este año que no fueron para aburrirse...
-Monsieur Serrano! Always good to hear from you. I hope all is good in Angouleme, if that's where you are these days!
-Thanks for your visit and comment Pat, these drawings of Culver City buildings were made with 'Sharpies", one of the fundamental inventions of mankind, as i understand it...
Increible! Esto oes muy inspirador. Justo cuando estoy al borde de emplearme y abandonar de nuevo la mesa de dibujo veo esto..Y me doy cuenta que es lo que amo en verdad. Gracias por compartirlo!
ReplyDeleteI love those sketches. inking mastering :D
