"Acrylic paintings bring this Mexican myth to life" says @100scopenotes.bsky.social description of a title he prdeicts for @nytimes.com #BestIllustrated : LOOK UP by Azul Lopez, translated by Shook, pubbed by @transitbooks.bsky.social 100scopenotes.com/2025/10/07/p...
Look Up cover is a ring of greenery around a blue sky with a small person looking up Interior page spread shows a small figure looking up, then standing up and looking down. Text reads: "In the face of their indifference, the man's eyes clouded with doubt. Day after day, watching the sky began to seem more taxing, less important. Until his curiosity withered and the man wound up doing the same thing as everyone else."

In a world where editorials have become rarer, I did get a chance to finally work again with a periodical! This time it was PHOENIX Magazine for a piece called "Raising Phoenix: Beach Envy"

Nothing filled me with more joy than designing how a dolphin would sit in a beach chair
Illustration for PHOENIX Magazine of a beach setting with a sunset in the background over the water. There are two sailboats floating in the distance and birds flying around them. On the shore is a woman with a pink hat and curly blonde hair, as well as a dolphin, sitting in two beach chairs holding cocktails watching the water. Next to the woman sits a suitcase

Tradional media never fail to help me feel unstuck 💥 Illustrating with oil pastels is fun once you get over perfectionism 👌🏽

Leaving london today after a year and a half that feels much longer. I was supposed to travel on Friday, but due to heathrow’s closure my flight got rescheduled to today. It’s been a fun ride and I enjoyed making new friends and learning new things. Excited for the new chapter💥
