Preface:
About The Artist Ramon Gonzalez Teja 

Ramon is a freelance illustrator who has worked in his industry since 1977 from his home in Madrid, Spain. Although Ramon has lived most of his life in Spain, he was born in Dallas, Texas on the 21st of May 1951, where he lived until the age of two.

Ramon's artistic talents emerged at a very early age. When asked why he began drawing Ramon replied:

"That's such a hard question to answer. Why did I start breathing? Why did I start walking ?...Talking ?... It came naturally."

Since 1977 Ramon has used that natural talent in his freelance business. Ramon has never had to hold a regular job due to the high demand of his high quality airbrushed works.

Ramon was finally introduced to the digital age in 1992. Using the Macintosh, Ramon was able to create the same quality work that he was producing with his airbrushing equipment.

Although Ramon's profession allows him to choose the assignments that he decides to take on, it has always limited him creatively. Like everybody else, Ramon's job requires him to conform to the demands of a employer (or in his case, a client). As a result, Ramon sought out a release valve for his creativity. In June of 2000, LivePencil.com would become that creative outlet.

At LivePencil, Ramon is able to be his own boss, and design the type of images that he enjoys to work on. Today, a visit to LivePencil will yield a variety of brightly colored icons, animations, and wallpapers, which are updated at a semi-regular basis with the free time that Ramon has.

Check out the step by step process on one of Ramon's animations starting on the next page of this article.
