“Not Funny? Not Mine!”: My 40 Funny Pop Culture Caricatures

About my creative process, my head is full of ideas. Once you enter the world of t-shirt design, being familiar with the markets makes it easier for you to associate concepts. I don't do anything special, seriously, it's like I have to explain to you how I breathe.

I can't help it, but humor is part of me. I always have that predisposition to make a joke, even when it's not appropriate. (Don't invite me to funerals!) I have some more sensible or thought-provoking designs, but they don't bring me the same happiness.

It is true that comics by Uderzo, Ibáñez, Hergé, and Morris fed my brain during my childhood and adolescence, but to highlight one influence, my father paid for all those comics! And I really appreciate it!

I learned Photoshop and Illustrator on my own, which makes me go a little slower than average when making these illustrations. It usually takes me 2-3 days. My illustrations are simple, but I am more of a perfectionist than it might seem.

I would like for people to appreciate how I squeezed my brain to get to that final idea, that they find the complexity in the simplicity of my illustration, and I hope that they do all that reflection with a smile on their faces.

And lastly, I would just like to add that I am very much in love with Rachel. I know it's not a topic related to my art, but the world deserves to know!
