Hola! I'm érik, 🤠 
A mexican designer and animation explorer. 🔭
🚀 Embarking on interstellar voyages of discovery through the vast cosmos of animation. 🪐👽
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been captivated by the mysteries of the universe… and dinosaurs, of course. If it weren’t for Spielberg, I’d probably be out there digging for fossils instead of crafting worlds in 3D. 🦕
Back then, I spent countless hours replaying that Jurassic VHS, mesmerized by the idea of bringing dinos to life—watching them roam right beside me (and maybe, just maybe, seeing my siblings get chased by one along the way. Spared no expense).
Why settle for imitating the world as it is when you can bend the rules, distort time, and rethink movement itself? That’s why I explore animation like an artist on an expedition—searching for new ways to break tradition. 
I’m fascinated by how cartoons embrace the absurd, or how comics and stop motion use their own limitations as strengths. Every overlooked technique holds an untapped potential.
Now, I navigate this ever-expanding cosmos of design and animation, experimenting with movement, composition, light, color, texture, and visual storytelling. Analyzing old animation tricks, leafing through books about the universe 🪐, and letting Bowie’s Space Oddity guide me through the unknown. ⚡🎶
And yet, after all these years, I still hold onto that childhood dream—standing face to face with a T-Rex, flare in hand, living to tell the tale. 😱 It’s dramatic, it’s heroic… and it’s not so impossible after all.
Animation is not bound by reality—so why should we be? ✨
