Quite a bit of material today, all of it from live drawing sessions in the Sony days.

Here is a personal piece I did back in March 2011, I really did enjoy this one. I couldn't help at the time but thinking of <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/bafinnegan1636/agatha-christie-covers-by-tom-adams/">Tom Adam's</a> work, I was always so impressed with his mysterious and cryptic cover art for so many of Agatha Christie's novels.Marcos Mateuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35016776.post-76820128540661043952015-03-23T20:42:00.003-07:002015-03-23T20:42:55.203-07:00Xyza Cruz Bacani, PhotographerI just discovered this filipina photographer who nine years ago left her country to work as domestic service in Hong Kong.

Talking about movies with a heart! I just saw a screening of HOME, our latest film at Dreamworks (I didn't work on it unfortunately). I loved it! and so did by the way my three year old daughter who at the end insisted so much on the fact that she wanted to see it again, she even let the usher know about it (since he was wearing a uniform she possibly figured he might be able to do something about it! :)Marcos Mateuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35016776.post-11696954474879415122015-03-22T09:30:00.001-07:002015-03-23T06:27:56.102-07:00By The Sea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aGlKS2KcwDE/VQ7tzFTjm4I/AAAAAAAAEE0/_dbgiWSnehA/s1600/IMAGE0003-1-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aGlKS2KcwDE/VQ7tzFTjm4I/AAAAAAAAEE0/_dbgiWSnehA/s320/IMAGE0003-1-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div>

Another action (pre-action actually) piece. Whatever happened next... It was just a fun to do exercise, isn't it great when you just can go at it without having to think about the previous or the posterior shot and draw for the moment?

Well, it's certainly been a while! …so hectic lately. Here are a few sketches I did for a graphic novel style story i did in collaboration with my friends and phenomenal talents <a href="http://vignalistudio.blogspot.com">Marcelo Vignali</a> and <a href="http://armandserrano.blogspot.com">Armand Serrano</a>. That was a long time ago now, when the three of us used to work at Sony Animation together.
I hope everyone is fine and enjoying the weekend!Marcos Mateuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35016776.post-19666522041378286012014-11-28T06:12:00.002-08:002014-11-28T06:18:09.086-08:00PENGUINS OF MADAGASCAR!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dg7Dz7urUgA/VHiAu_VSurI/AAAAAAAAD9Q/PtwjxmwRSTM/s1600/005-022-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Dg7Dz7urUgA/VHiAu_VSurI/AAAAAAAAD9Q/PtwjxmwRSTM/s320/005-022-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa4NM39b_WM/VHiAvDcWaaI/AAAAAAAAD9M/Z4Kv6Snvcfo/s1600/006-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Sa4NM39b_WM/VHiAvDcWaaI/AAAAAAAAD9M/Z4Kv6Snvcfo/s320/006-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LmEswO2DcOI/VHiAuU3VxHI/AAAAAAAAD9I/QOTiif5e6wI/s1600/0010-a-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LmEswO2DcOI/VHiAuU3VxHI/AAAAAAAAD9I/QOTiif5e6wI/s320/0010-a-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hzkvwnWr71A/VHiAwH_TOEI/AAAAAAAAD9k/30RM2H-OzmI/s1600/011-a-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hzkvwnWr71A/VHiAwH_TOEI/AAAAAAAAD9k/30RM2H-OzmI/s320/011-a-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WEtb4M7UXCA/VHiAw-ZhOgI/AAAAAAAAD9U/xAicviJlXSI/s1600/012-b-BLOG.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-WEtb4M7UXCA/VHiAw-ZhOgI/AAAAAAAAD9U/xAicviJlXSI/s320/012-b-BLOG.jpg" /></a></div>
I just saw the film at our usual studio screening, and boy -I did have fun-, to the usual charm of these little fellows add a fun story, tones of action, phenomenal art direction, and certainly lots and lots of clever humor. I also love the use of so many varied and cool locations -a la- James Bond, same with the gadgets and devices used by bad and good guys alike. Here are a few pieces I did for the film long time ago, just preliminary sketches or the port and some alleys in Hong Kong which at the time was to be one of the locations. I hope you see the show and have a great time too!Marcos Mateuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35016776.post-20027370698010518502014-06-14T17:50:00.001-07:002014-06-14T17:51:01.985-07:00HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B5wiTGmkE2A/U5zs1X_qgkI/AAAAAAAADzs/R3CFZ_2V-KE/s1600/006+-+out+of+the+tunnel-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-B5wiTGmkE2A/U5zs1X_qgkI/AAAAAAAADzs/R3CFZ_2V-KE/s320/006+-+out+of+the+tunnel-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ubCIV6WGDMw/U5zs1Oa3sVI/AAAAAAAADzo/TtTQFtfRqpA/s1600/121-c-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ubCIV6WGDMw/U5zs1Oa3sVI/AAAAAAAADzo/TtTQFtfRqpA/s320/121-c-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIjrcy7Dg7Q/U5zs1p6CKBI/AAAAAAAADzw/dtc9_0OOEX4/s1600/150-c-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iIjrcy7Dg7Q/U5zs1p6CKBI/AAAAAAAADzw/dtc9_0OOEX4/s320/150-c-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wH9M-FaSPl0/U5zs2QIgHLI/AAAAAAAAD0A/wXkjLii_PA8/s1600/151-c-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wH9M-FaSPl0/U5zs2QIgHLI/AAAAAAAAD0A/wXkjLii_PA8/s320/151-c-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Do53vF1qo90/U5zs3RakgWI/AAAAAAAAD0I/jD4UMaCkF5g/s1600/153-2-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Do53vF1qo90/U5zs3RakgWI/AAAAAAAAD0I/jD4UMaCkF5g/s320/153-2-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sejwNti7OmM/U5zs3Zhs1mI/AAAAAAAAD0M/cYCmvwG5xbI/s1600/154-2-MAIL.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sejwNti7OmM/U5zs3Zhs1mI/AAAAAAAAD0M/cYCmvwG5xbI/s320/154-2-MAIL.jpg" /></a></div>And so the big weekend arrived, Ive been waiting for this one myself for quite a long time!

It had been quite a while, years actually, since I last went to life drawing sessions. <a href="http://karlgnass.blogspot.com">Karl Gnass</a> is now having one of his phenomenal seminars at the Studio, so here is one of the drawings I did the other day. Also, <a href="http://www.artistsnetwork.com/drawing-magazine">'Drawing'</a> magazine just came out with their spring 2014 issue which features an interesting article about artists who use ink, and as you'll see I was invited as well to show some of my work.

These are two pieces dating from some time ago. The 'Sherlock' image is an illustration I did to keep 'my fingers agile', as a guitarist friend of mine would say. The horseman is one of the many sketches I did years ago for a historical adventure project that eventually would evolve into 'Trail Of Steel'.The big temple design at the very background is directly taken from the cathedral in my hometown Palma de Mallorca.Marcos Mateuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14740828780483716922noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35016776.post-14950732141934282652014-03-11T12:31:00.000-07:002014-03-11T12:33:54.640-07:00'Framed Ink' currently being reprinted<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rb84ou_yX1w/Ux9lGxy50XI/AAAAAAAADyA/ViEWtjHSo_Y/s1600/F-I2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rb84ou_yX1w/Ux9lGxy50XI/AAAAAAAADyA/ViEWtjHSo_Y/s320/F-I2.jpg" /></a></div>Hi everyone, for those of you interested to know, 'Framed Ink' is currently being reprinted so it will soon be up and running in Amazon and everywhere else.
