Alberto Cerriteño

I have discovered so many new artists since writing my previous post, Terrible Yellow Eyes, and one illustrator in particular really caught my eye. Alberto Cerriteño.  His artwork is so vibrant and colourful, I can’t help but smile at his often humorous and completely wacky creations. From cute little critters and fun monsters to amusing animal and people portraits, Alberto injects such energy and liveliness into his work through rich textures and decorative patterns. His Mexican roots can clearly be seen with his artistic influences including alternative cartoons and pop surrealism.

Recuerdos by Alberto Cerriteño

Alberto Cerriteño is currently working in Portland USA as an independent artist and his creative ideas are applied through many different mediums, from watercolour, pen and ink drawings and digital illustrations, through to paper work, packaging, installations and animation. An example of which I must include below for the short film to accompany Brian Vogan’s delightful children’s song That’s How A Pumpkin Grows.

I tend to be drawn towards illustration with a paper cut quality. I find coffee painted artwork and humorous designs appealing and I am often influenced by flat compositions loaded with texture. Alberto Cerriteño ticks all of those boxes for me so I am not surprised that I have suddenly gone ga-ga for his artwork. Take a look at his blog for instant gratification!
