Mags from El Guapo vs Narco Vampires from @mexopolis.bsky.social

El Guapo vs The Narco Vampires (2025 pilot) An unabashedly crass, violent and sexual W.I.P cartoon that is dripping with Mexican influence and striking use of Catholic imagery. Yet amidst all this is some genuine drama. Jorge R. Gutierrez once again demonstrates his strong animation credentials.

One of our favorite  animation auteurs, the two time-Emmy-winning director Jorge R. Gutiérrez (The Book of Life, El Tigre, Maya and the Three) is experimenting with alternative ways of launching a new project. www.animationmagazine.net/2025/12/jorg...

Jorge Gutiérrez has released the full 40-minute animatic for his adult-aimed pilot 'El Guapo vs. the Narco Vampires,' bypassing traditional development and financing methods to court an online audience and potential studio partners. www.cartoonbrew.com/series/el-gu...

Don't know where he finds the time, but it looks like Jorge Gutiérrez (@mexopolis.bsky.social) is developing a Speedy Gonzales project at Warner Bros. Pictures Animation!

Today was a fun day. Started off by meeting @mexopolis.bsky.social (Director of The Book of Life) He was kind enough to blurb my picture book The Fib. Then I headed over to Tia Chuchas for a book reading event. They handed out copies of The Fib to all the kids and I had a great time. Much love!!

I'll be at a Super Machitos and Super Macho toy signing at The Mighty Luchador this Saturday at 2pm!!!

Thank you Disney+ subscribers!

Frankenstein feels like an open hearted love letter to creators, imperfect fathers and sons. LOVE the idea that what we create and who creates us is not as important as our actions, which ultimately reveal our true self. What a film, maestro!!!

one is a work of art and the other is a Street Fighter II painting I did for the @iam8bit anniversary art show

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!

Coming soon by @kaleidoscreative.bsky.social !!!
