Very cool, but with brown hair and brown eyes the last thing I need is more brown. Congrats on the print, and I am really liking the side art. If this was on a different color I may have got it, I just don't wear a lot of brown.

My Roots

About the artist

Wenceslao A Romero

View profile

Art curated by

jimiyo

Tell us a bit about this design.

I have always liked reinterpreting known characters and evoking feelings when someone sees my designs. I thought it would be funny to see this well-known potato in a botany diagram :)

Where are you from?

I’m from Mexico and I really enjoy spicy food! But for 3 years now I've had a little design studio in Washington, DC.

What do you want TeeFury fans to know about you?

Guys, I make some perfect enchiladas! You should try them!

Also, it would be nice if you followed me on Facebook. I have a lot of goodies for my pals!

http://www.facebook.com/pages/Walmazan/105949016117597

What do you absolutely not want them to find out?

I really don't know much about good tequila :(

Name a few of your favorite things.

My favorite dish is enchiladas verdes and my favorite drink is rum and Coke (I know I should say tequila, but that’s number two). I think one of the things I miss most about my country is the food.

What kind of art did you make as a kid?

I think I’ve liked drawing ever since I was a little kid. My favorite thing to draw was dogs and spaceships or dogs IN spaceships.

What is your favorite thing about Spring?

Out with the cold, in with the woo-hoo!

French fries vs. mashed potatoes: which would win the battle?

Enchiladas!

Describe your favorite shirt that you own, and why you like it so much.

Ouch! That’s too difficult. I love so many of them.

Which is better, gaming, reading, or watching movies? Name your favorite title in your chosen medium.

Watching movies! I love action and suspense - I would choose Die Hard, Lethal Weapon, or Scarface. Wait...I love Face-Off, too :)

What inspires your work?

I don’t know! I drink a lot of coffee and eat a lot of Mexican food, and I always carry my sketchbook and pencil everywhere with me, even next to my bed. I am always trying to sketch whatever idea comes to my mind, and there’s always a lot of material with which to begin a new illustration.

Any shout outs?

“Everything is better with salsa!”
