In February 1931, St. Maria Faustina had a vision of Jesus in the town of Plock, Poland. In her diary, she tells us that the Lord commanded her to paint the image she was looking in those moments of revelation. The image should portray Jesus with two rays of blood and water that flowed from his heart as Divine Mercy for the salvation of the world. Also, the image should be signed with the words Jesus, I trust in You.
Based on the words of the Lord and the original painting by Sister Faustina, my version of the Divine Mercy tries to rescue God’s promises for the new generations of catholic believers. “Through this image I shall grant many graces to the souls, it has to remind of the demands of my mercy, because faith without works, however strong, is useless.” - Diary 742
“Neither in the beauty of the color nor in the brush lays the greatness of this image, but in my grace.” - Jesus (Diary 313)
I’ll give a FREE hi-res digital copy of 5x10 inches, to the first 12 people who sends me an email with the subject “Jesus, I trust in you”. It’s available in english, spanish, portuguese, italian, german, french, polish and latin. Feel free to suggest any other languages.

Developed by my mate Luis Pinto, Gráfica Escrita is a collection of young guatemalan writers and illustrators, wich pretends to promote the art of our country through the writing and it’s graphic interpretation. I was in charge of illustrating “Minimalism” written by Tania Hernández.Desarrollado por mi compañero de estudios Luis Pinto, Gráfica Escrita es un compendio de jóvenes escritores e ilustradores guatemaltecos que pretende promover el arte de nuestros país, a través de la escritura y su respectiva interpretación gráfica. A mi cargo quedó la ilustración del escrito “Minimalismo” por Tania Hernández.“Espacios mágicos que se dilatan para contener sueños incontables, en los que es posible imaginar que la realidad ha muerto, o que, luego de rebasarla, la dejamos tan pero tan lejos que, por más que se alarguen los brazos, los dedos del recuerdo no son capaces de tocarla.
Puertas a mundos paralelos, en donde el “vos y yo” son tan posibles que asustan, porque el “vos y ella” y el “vos y él” se escuchan ya solo como un murmullo ajeno, como una historia que alguna vez se contó, pero hace mucho, mucho tiempo.Allí pululan los suspiros, los héroes encuentran hermosas villanas y las princesas vencen a pulso a sus brujos, porque en esos espacios la gente se convierte en otra, se transforma, se puede inventar una y otra vez. Y es que a media luz lo posible y lo imposible también se han vuelto otros…” (read more)

Featured at Concept Dezain

dd-art studio © 2009

Again I find myself surfing on the web and found Concept Dezain, run by Franco Averta, argentine graphic designer. The site aims to communicate and share everything about design through articles, tutorials, resources, etc.

Last May 2010, Franco published a series of pieces dedicated to the king of reggae, Bob Marley. As part of the series, Franco included Bob Marley Tribute, an illustration inspired by the author of “Sun is Shining”, which I did in 2009.

Nuevamente me encuentro navegando en la red y descubro el sitio Concept Dezain dirigido por Franco Averta, diseñador gráfico argentino. El sitio tiene por objetivo comunicar y compartir todo lo referente al diseño a través de artículos, tutoriales, recursos, etc.

El pasado mes de mayo del año 2010, Franco publicó una serie de piezas gráficas dedicadas al rey del reggae, Bob Marley. Como parte de la serie se incluyó Bob Marley Tribute, una ilustración inspirada en el autor de “Sun is Shining”, misma que realicé en el año 2009.

Capiusa Festival 2010

Se Prohíbe el Uso Ilegal o Inapropiado de ésta Muestra Gráfica.

Again I decided to collaborate for the annual competition of the Guatemalan design magazine Capiusa. The theme should represent some idea or utopian thought. Something that lives in our minds as a positive ideal that seems to be impossible. My proposal?, the King of the world. A giant panda in charge of directing the entire world population for the good care of our environment.

Nuevamente decidí colaborar para el concurso anual de la revista de diseño guatemalteca Capiusa. La temática a representar debía ser sobre alguna idea o pensamiento utópico. Algo que viviera en nuestras mentes como un ideal positivo que pareciera ser imposible. ¿Mi propuesta?, el rey del mundo. Un panda encargado de dirigir a toda la población mundial en pro del bienestar ambiental.
