JOBS OF THE NEAR FUTURE

"Jobs of the Near Future" is a collection of nine portraits of characters that could exist in a not so distant future.

Each one of those characters has a back story. The aim was to make it possible for the viewer to understand where could those characters come from and what would they be doing to make a living.

COLOR SELECTS

This collection of images is the next step in some of the ink drawings I make. In most of the cases the aim to color them is to find new ways to enhance the images. The color was added digitally.

when the moon is full
and the hounds are howling under a dark sky,
he becomes the fearless vagabond artist, Lou Santos.
