Hello there dear Gorillas!
Finally I took a moment to make my first official post here on the blog. You all know how much I love you, and it’s really a HUGE pleasure and honor to be a part of the gang! After all, being one of the apes is more than a pleasure – it’s a way of living. So, here we go to start this mess up!
Well, in fact I don’t have a big deal to share right now, but I’ll show you a few recent studies (only a few, as I’m just starting this new sketchbook – and it’s a wonderfull one) and a sneak of my current oil painting. Soon I’ll post some other stuff!
Hope you’re all well, until lateeeeeeeer
And here is the painting – at the very early stages, so of course I’ll show much of it!
Raf! So nice to have you finally posting – feel free to post some older work too if you like ; ) Nice way to introduce your manliness to those unfamiliar .
What a post too – man….I love this visual vocabulary you are developing. Truly wicked stuff and very inspiring. Can’t wait to see the next developments. Cheers my friend!

Love that mix of organic viney musculature and angular, sharp shapes. Looks great! Where did you get that sketchbook, it looks amazing. Did you make it?
Yay, great to see you posting, raf. I missed your works.
This painting seems in a good way to become another of your masterpieces ^__^
Rafa, I want one of those sketchbooks! where did you get them? did you make them yourself? (and of course your work is kicks ass as per usual ;) )
This is so beautiful!
BE MY FRIEND haha :)
wonderful first post.
Professor Scott: Man, I have no words to thank you for that! I just hope I’ll not disappoint ya along the development of these visual things… ;^) But I’m trying to make something not shitty with these! Cheers amigo! ;^)
Cody The Encoder: Nice that you’ve enjoyed such elements! The sketchbook is made by an awesome bookbinder here, wish I had these powers! (check my blog for the info)
Torahn The Barbarian: Thanks a lot, but please, don’t even create any expectations! Hahaha
Brun Crows: Just sent you a DM on Twitter – and thanks for the kind words my friend!
Gengis Kan: Hey, thanks a lot! ;^P
Gax Le Grand: Merci mon ami – let’s be friends for sure! Hahaha
I’m a sucker for bad ass work in general but even more so if it’s bad ass sketchbook work. Custom sketchbook? Nicenicenice.
Johnny B. Goode: Thanks a lot dude, it’s nice to hear that from people that I actually admire (like everyone around here, in fact), so I’m humbled! Yeah, this custom sketchbook is sooooooooo niceeeeee… smooth and tough at the same time.
