Kooky Pets retouch

November 9th, 2009

Kooky Pets

I know, I’ve been a litle silent lately. Hallowen, a visit of a friend from Spain, and some illustration and design for very interesting web projects going on lately. Apart from all this, yes, I keep working in the Kooky Pets Book.

Here are a couple of samples of the kind work I’m currently doing for the book. I’m doing some painting retouch and make all the colors pop. I really want this book to be full of color, light and fun. When I started putting ideas together, I realized that some of the colors from the original pictures were a little dim. So this is pretty much what I’m doing. How do you like it?

Some of these mad pets complained at first when they knew they first needed a bath but later, after all they all look very merry and thankful at feeling brighter and colorfull. Does it happen to you when you try to give a bath to your pet?

In the next days I will show you further retouch and even some re-drawing of things and details that are getting better for the book. More to come soon.

    As much as we all hate to take a bath, we do feel better (and look better) afterwards. These look great!

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
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
"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.

"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!
