About the final project for: Illustration: From Idea to Concept

Illustration: from idea to conceptualization

“If you are reading this it is because you have reached the end of the course, however the path for you is just beginning. Do not despair, this is not something that runs overnight. Remember that there is no single way to solve a problem, but with the help of this course it will be easier for you to find alternatives. Boceta, write down, register. Make it a habit. Always keep in mind that talent is not everything, it requires discipline and clarity to know WHAT to say and say it well. Try to apply this methodology to different projects in which your voice needs to excel, they can be texts, some photographic series or even the assembly of some own or collective exhibition. I will be in the forum giving feedback and answering questions as soon as possible. I ask for your patience and I suggest you help each other too, at the end of the day we are all colleagues. I want to see what they achieve. See you! Mike Sandoval ”

First I told you about me and how after seven years in advertising, I decided to launch myself fully to fulfill my dream of being a freelancer illustrator. I shared some influences like Quino and Ernesto "El Chango" Cabral. I told you about the project that we would develop in the course. I told you about my process to generate ideas and the important thing of generating own references to avoid creating works similar to those of other artists. We review the material we would use in the course to continue with the creative process....”

After 7 years of experience as an Art Director in advertising agencies, life gave Mike Sandoval the opportunity to make the leap and devote himself to what he always wanted to be: a freelance professional illustrator.

His passion for telling stories in illustrations united him with his second passion: music, making posters for independent bands such as Cardiel, LNG/SHT and Los Viejos to international projects such as Café Tacvba, Zoé, The Prodigy, Queens of the Stone Age, Belle and Sebastian, Kendrick Lamar, Interpol, Incubus, and Foo Fighters, among others.

His client portfolio includes brands such as Wacom, Vans, Nike, Reebok, Indian Beer, White Beer, Victoria Beer, Microsoft, EA, Omega, Casio, and Kipling, among others, performing interventions on walls and in graphics for ads. In addition, he is the founder and organizer of Drink & Draw DF (Mexico).
