Day Of The Dead Luchador

A few weeks ago when sending my Luchadores illustrations to print, I couldn't decide which Dia de los Muertos luchador character to use. I went back and forward with no final decision. Then I posted a version of them both in my facebook page to take them to a vote. Let my fans and friends decide which one should be printed. After a few days of voting they still came out as a tie. It was then when I took the only obvious choice I had, print them both. This past Saturday I previewed them at Stitch Rock in Delray Beach, Florida were they sold very well. I'll take that as a reaffirmation that I made the right decision in printing them both.

Luchador Pillow Covers

This is a new item I have been wanting to create for a while. It's a pillow cover from a luchador face I designed in FL a while back. Last night I finally made my dream come true and finished 5 pillow covers that I'll be bringing with me to Stitch Rock!

Next step is to actually make some small pillows and a bunch of plushies.

Peligrozo on vacation in Celestun

The town of Celestun is located on the west coast of the Yucatán, a "short" drive from Mérida. The town has many beach restaurants and they serve the best seafood Peligrozo Azul ever had the pleasure to eat. But be warned, the drive to this beautiful beach town is not for the weak of stomach. There are no highways or big roads, you have to drive through all the quaint small town and there are bout 300 topes on the way there. What are topes you ask? They are the biggest, meanest speed bumps you will ever encounter. Visit Celestun if you dare... I recommend eating at Restaurante La Playita and ordering the ceviche. Also make sure to stay for sunset.

Peligrozo Azul on Vacation

It had been a few years since Peligrozo Azul had gone back to his home-land, the Yucatan peninsula of Mexico. Since it had been a long time coming he decided to scheduled a 9 day stay in the peninsula. Peligrozo Azul booked a flight, made reservations at a resort in Playa del Carmen and rented a car. He wanted this trip to be pampering, relaxing with some adventures.

The first 4 days he would spend in an all-inclusive, adults only resort,the Royal Hideaway in Playacar. He wanted to make sure it was adults only since all year-round he plays and performs for kids... this was a vacation after all. From his location in Playacar he visited the island of Cozumel, which is only a 30 minute ferry ride. There he went snorkeling in the gorgeous blue Caribbean water of the island with beautiful tropical fishes. He also rented a scooter to drive around the island. Driving the scooter turned out to be more terrifying than wrestling El Demonio Negro, but game him the chance to see a more quiet side of Cozumel.

After his relaxing stay in the Riviera Maya area he boarded his rental car and took to the road to Merida, there he would stay with other luchador friends. The stay in the Colonial city was also very nice and relaxing, it gave Peligrozo a chance to visit less touristy areas and eat more traditional foods... mercado tamales are awesome! Some of the places he visited where the Merida centro, the mercado, government buildings, universities and ruins. He also had the chance to visit Secestun, a beautiful beach town on the west coast of the Yucatan. There he eat at a beach restaurant, La Playita, they had the best seafood he has ever had. This trip to Yucatan Peninsula was almost perfect. The only thing that went wrong was that his rental car (Blueway car rental) broke down twice... well not literally the same car. His first car broke down, he got a replacement and then the second car also broke down. But maybe that was the adventure he needed.
