Here are a bunch of pictures of alebrijes, this mexican creatures are made of wood or papier mache.

During this summer vacations I started a book for a competition related to alebrijes so I had to slash the original illustrations to send then to Tokyo (yep it still hurts).
The book is in process but I got really frustrated because I didn’t used an illustration board as background and when you opened the illustrations the Mermaid paper was too weak to hold the mechanisms. No matter it happens I hope they have a good time there.
