New art: Callejon De Beso

Posted May 19, 2009 at 12:22 CEST in My art and illustration.


Callejon De Beso

This painting will be the cover for a graphic novel that I’ve been commissioned to make. The graphic novel will be released in parts and each part will be accompanied by a perfume (the story is about perfume as well). It probably won’t be finished in months but I’ll get back with more info when I have it.

Hi! I was in another blogg when I saw yours, in fact I have seen before pictures of you in flirck, I LOVE your style.
But what catched my attention was this paint, “Callejon del Beso” . First of all, I’m mexican, and here, there is a town named Guanajuato, there, there is a story about a couple of lovers who couldn’t love each other because she was a rich girl and her father was very strict, he was a miner and poor,he bought a very expensive house with all his savings because both houses were separated just by a small alley and they could touch their hands using the balnonies, so , one time, the father of the girl saw them and he was very angry because he wanted her to marry to a rich man from spain, so the father, killed her daughter sticking her knife in the heart, her lover, saw this and he just could kiss her in the hand while she was almost death.
So, nowdays, when couple walk in that alley , they have to kiss each other.
Nice story, isn’t it? My english is not very good but I’m sure you will uderstand me =)

Thank you! Yes, that’s the legend the painting was based on :)

Very nice. They look like Joséphine and Napoléon …^-~
