onehugeeye at Mysoti
I just uploaded all the characters I designed based on Colombian mythology to the new t-shirt shop: mysoti.com. I am sure they wont be the last t-shirt I create for sale there, so keep an eye on it. Also it’s a brand new concept, much better than the Threadless structure.
Last Minute Gift
I was invited to a walrus’s birthday party. What the hell, I thought, do you get for a walrus. The chips were down and I only had ten dollars. I got him a snow globe. I felt very sure of myself as I knocked on his door. A sea otter opened the door and grabbed the present from my hands before I could say anything. He unwrapped and quickly [...]
Faces on stuff
I have been obsessed with faces you find on objects and cracks on walls and floors for a long time. I even have a set on flickr with only those faces. I always imagined it’d be interesting to have a collection of them with an illustration alongside of what is it that I see, as [...]

One day, they all conspire to send a telephone message to their brothers in the oceans, rivers and lakes. As a cloud of fish swim around the den and fumble with the phone, finding it especially hard to manage the receiver, one fish, a large [...]
Octavio
Octavio is a member of the army of cotton stuffed toys I set out to make a about a year ago, when I borrowed a sewing machine and discovered the marvels that could be found in a habbadashery. You can see more (and buy) here.
Jesonite figures
A few years ago, I spent time playing with a moult making kit I got for my birthday, you could make copies of an original figure in a material called Jesonite. I made quite a few, the only problem was that the original never survived, I always managed to break it when I was taking [...]
