Introducing members of Kooky Pets Team

March 9th, 2010

Thank you to all members of the Kooky Pets Team for taking the time to fill in the inquisitive form to create your characters. You’ve done a wonderful job!

So the Kooky Pets team is now completed and I have to say that we have a really nice collection of curious characters here. If you are one of them please check out that you’re not missing.

It’s possible that there were some issues when filling up and submitting your forms and images. If you have filled in the form and you’re not on this list, please let me know as soon as possible so we can do something about it.

There’s a bunch of people who contributed on this project who didn’t show up at all. Regretfully, their comments won’t be used in the content of the book since, in the first place, I need their legal agreement to do so. Also this will imply a few alterations on the original Kooky Pets characters but I can guarantee that at the end of the day everything is going to look terrific.

In my next post you’ll be able to see a sample of a portrait of one of the members of the team, just so you have a glimpse. And I can guarantee this is going to be such a surprise for most of you. The rest of character’s drawings will only be seen in the final book. Now excuse me, I have a meeting with your characters…

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.

Peter Sinfield
"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!

Nadiia Evans
"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
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.
