Kooky Pet Workshop

I feel honored to introduce you to the last Kooky Pet: Chiropteresa

With her, the Kooky Pet Workshop ends up and it also marks the last character of the forthcoming Kooky Pets Book, which I’m currently producing. You will be able to see some previews of the book during the following weeks. And if you still feel curious about what is all about please take a look at the last post about the Kooky Pets Book.

Once again, I want to thank you all for following this project and making it possible with your imaginative collaboration. It’s great to have the opportunity of knowing such creative and fun people as you are!

Happy creepy Halloween to all of you!

    A bat who’s very friendly, and just wants to cuddle!

  3. Aiyana and Carolyn says:

    Good Morning

    Aiyana – ridiculously long eyelashes

    Carolyn – diamond earrings

    Sorry to hear that this will be the last kooky pet – we have enjoyed this immensely.

    Best of everything to you and yours.

    Green scales. He needs green scales (like a lizard or dragon).

    What does sonar reveal? How does sonar that bats send out shape what they see? I’d like to see whatever scene that the bat is located in as the bat would see it.

    For instance, I have read that dolphin sonar reveals people’s bodies looking more like the air pockets inside of them. The actual external features of how people look to us humans are completely gone or indistinct for the dolphin sonar.

    Oh, Mr. Barroso, you have such wonderful pets. I was looking at them. They seem so friendly. Do they have parents? Maybe this pet could have pictures of them? I love your drawings very much.

  7. steven says:

    Well, how wonderful she is. I love how iridescent her wings are. I’m looking forward to seeing how all of these will play out in your book.

  8. Amy Crook says:

    She’s great! I love the coloring in her wings especially, and the friendly yet slightly unnerving smile with its pointy, pointy teeth. I can’t wait to see the book!

  9. Watch out for those pointy teeth. She’s coming for you veeeeery soon…

    LOVE her….now we can get the cards!

  11. Cyn, there won’t be any cards, it will finally be a book with extra stuff and on a large scale. So you will be able to apreciate the drawings in detail on their original size.

    Love this pet as I’ve loved all the Kooky Pets. I didn’t get to participate in any but one (due to life’s demands) but am very proud to have been able to participate at all. I adore your creativity and anxiously await the release of your book.

"I received the package!!! Your talent is awesome! Thank you so much I love them. I have already framed them and have put in a place where my gaze will fall upon them frequently. I’m sure that everyone that visits my studio will also feel the Magical Radiance of your Work. I feel so lucky. I feel like I own a museum piece!

Through Koldo Barroso’s art we see magical characters and are drawn into an enchanted world. His storytelling captures your imagination and heart as he weaves life into each of his drawings. I am in awe of his incredible talent and passion for not only his work but for life.

Erin Hammill
Koldo Barroso is a brilliant and very original artist. His uniquely beautiful style of illustration is inspirational. You can feel the joy and fun that runs through all of his work.
We were blessed to have him do the illustration and cover design for our album "Life Stories" and couldn't have been more delighted. I feel his energy and wonderful artwork are as much a part of the album as the music itself, it so captured the mood and meaning of the project.

"It is pure joy to enter the imagination of artist & writer, Koldo Barroso. His is a world of delightfully whimsical and bizarre characters brought to life with sensitivity, skill and humour.

This is creativity at its very best - inventive and poetical, its charm simply magnified upon repeated viewing.
Truly magical."

Lorell Lehman
How delightful. Thank you for the all the care and skill you have put into this illustration. I was touched and intrigued by your particular interpretation of "C'est La Vie" to see how you had taken the piece beyond its original form of a study in melancholy.
