My Galleries: DeviantArt and Skinbase
My Prints: batoruco DesignsBIOI started using computers for digital art back in 1992, as a result of my work as a Research and Development manager for Mexico's biggest ceramic tile manufacturer's research center.
In 2001, I created some of the first WinAmp Art Skins, including Looking for myself and Bloodless.
Bloodless was regarded as the first cubist skin ever. There were more than one million downloads of these skins, specialized books and magazines throughout the world published them.
In 2003, a digital painting of mine:
Kingdom_of_Magog Kingdom of Magog
was selected by Linspire , creators of the Linspire OS, as part of their OS system.
In March 2004, as batoruco , my digitalPsiche, I became Top Author at Skinbase where I am still at the top with a gallery of more than 500 art pieces. Apart from the massive downloading of my WinAmp skins, my digital paintings have been downloaded more than 30,000 times from DeviantArt and more than 100,000 times from Skinbase .
I am one of the three original founders of Apophysis, a widely succesful community of fractalists, that has caused a major influence in young artists.
My style goes mainly around what I would call Digital Paintings:
I also love to make album covers and graphic material for a hoax progressive rock band called Sparrow my own dream band! :
I am a bloodless robot
I am a heartless machine
Just an I.D. list number
Sometimes I even wonder
If I really exist!
I am a beatless singer
I am a soundless song
Just a dissonant 13th sound chord
Sometimes I say the word
When I can't find no one!
I am a wordless poem
I am a meaningless truth
Just a non sense bad rhyme
Just as senseless as time
And as useless as youth!
I am a skinless spirit
I am a lifeless soul
Uncircumstantial essence
Sometimes I feel your presence
But I can't see you at all !

I certainly do pray for your wife's surgery to be successful. Have courage - my middle sister had this same problem and it has been over 15 years and she is still fine. Outstanding artwork. I love the "painted" look of the texturing - a look I've tried for, also. But not as nice as this one. I'll have to play with PS's filters more. Wonderful to see you posting here again, too, bato - I enjoy your work.

Eloisa is in my prayers, dear Javier, and so are you. I hope and pray for the best outcome possible. I had a radical hysterectomy when I was 41..and a lung surgery to remove a cancerous lung tumor in the same year. Well, I'm 59 now, and so far the cancer hasn't returned. Both surgeries were necessary and turned out to be blessings, as you can see. I pray the same for your beloved wife. The most wonderful sight when I came out of surgery was seeing the face of my dear husband, John. I know you will be there for her all the way. Your image is poignant and excellent.

While certainly not something that anyone should be going through, the value of trials is that they help you to see what is important. We're praying that all goes well and that her recovery is quick and successful.

Eloisa and you, and your family are in my prayers Javier. I am a cancer survivor of 20 years. There is always hope. Your image is poignant and communicates so much. You have my continued good wishes and prayers.

Your design is stunning and pain stroke textures set it off beautifully. Best wishes to your wife for a speedy recovery.

I love the painted look to this image. It is certainly one which should be printed. It is sad and very sombre and maybe a reflection of your own feelings. A very worrying time and I wish your wife well and hope by now the surgery is over and you can all look forward to a better and long life together. We pray for you all.

Wonderful painterly look and very emotive as well. I'm certain this is a representation of how you're feeling right now. All good wishes for your wife and your family.
