Art Tip: As artists, we all have our doubts: Am I good enough? Should I have done this instead of that? The nagging feeling that you are not there yet? Guess what: we ALL have doubts. I just decided long ago to not pay too much attention to it. It is always here, and it is ok.
#INSPIRATION: Can't talk about #ALIEN the movie without crediting one of the most underrated designer giant in the field: Ron Cobb. His influence in the mechanical design and overall aesthetic is immense and go way beyond the movie itself.

#INSPIRATION: No matter what I do, when I am looking for landscape inspiration my mind seems to always drift back to ROGER DEAN's paintings and all those lovely 70's shapes and tones. I am ok with that.
#COMPOSITION: Frank Frazetta had this unique and powerful way of using a simple triangle as a guide in all his paintings. More interestingly he used it for his narrative as well: to restrain, to dominate, to isolate or push away from a danger. #GENIUS
