I made this one for an image consulting firm. They wanted a fresh face, half 2.0 half grunge, to show that they're up to the present times.
Site for a firm that creates custom furniture. They have really lovely designs, and it's been a pleasure designing for them since they are quite open to graphic design. As usual, I made two versions: this is the "Caoba" version, based on wood, an essential part of their work. The other version (not published here) is "Platinum", closer to the metal work they do.
Sitio para una firma que realiza muebles a medida. Tienen diseños preciosos y ha sido bueno trabajar con ellos dado que son muy abiertos en cuanto al diseño gráfico. Como de costumbre hice dos versiones: esta es la versión "Caoba", basada en la madera que es una parte esencial de su trabajo. La otra versión (no publicada aquí) es "Platino", cercana al trabajo de metal que hacen.
This is a site pending of aproval, I had to made a white version and a black version (right, this is the white version) and I really liked how it turned out. Some stock images are from a template site where my partner bought a subscription and other images are from the web but this is not intended to be a final product, it's just a mock-up, so they will be replaced eventually by the ones provided by the customer.
Este es un sitio que todavía está pendiente de aprobación. Pidieron una versión blanca y otra negra (correcto, esta es la blanca) y me gustó como salió. Algunas imágenes son stock de un sitio de templates donde mi compañera compró una suscripción y otras imágenes de la web, pero no es un producto final, es un boceto y serán eventualmente reemplazadas por las que provea el cliente.
This was intended to be the overall design for an institutional site/blog for a fashion summit. Later I had to remove all colors because the communication agency running the event already had done posters and cards using gray and a light yellow...
Esto iba a ser el diseño general de un sitio/blog para un congreso de moda. Posteriormente tuve que quitar todos los colores porque la agencia de comunicación que manejaba el evento ya había hecho posters y tarjetas en gris y un amarillo claro...
She dreams of having her own castle. Among the friendly books, she sats alone, but in company, dreaming of magical travels starting from the first page of the book.
Ella sueña de tener su propio castillo. Entre los libros amigos, ella se sienta sola, pero acompañada, soñando con mágicos viajes que comienzan en la primera página del libro.

This is a logo for a portfolio were starting with a friend. Were doing some sites based on XHTML+CSS with CMS administration so we wanted to showcase them. It has some things to think about, she is a girl, I'm a boy, I've a stem, she doesn't. I altered the geometric font to get along with the logo: shorter d stem, a small cut into e.
The logo on top is the original logo I made for the site, a job board site. However, we thought it needed a bit more strenght. The concept was ok, the colors were ok... so I went on with the type. I looked for some fonts around, but none of them fitted. The main issue was in the L-J joint. There was a huge empty hole in there. Some fonts got the J lower part under the L, but it looked weird, and some fonts had it inline with L, but this created the hole. Yet another fonts had these issues right but the O eye was too big. In the end I decided to draw the letters myself and it finally worked out. Reflections, gradients, bevel, added because of the web 2.0 trend, which is the main target of this site.
Esta es un poco melancólica, pero aún hay esperanza en la pequeña flor. Quizás sea el hecho de dejar partir a mi hijito Agustín, dejarlo que vuele. La mujer debe representar el hogar, en un sentido de cariño maternal, del calor de una polenta con salsa en invierno, un pancito dulce recién horneado. Los hijos nos dan tantas alegrías...
This one is a bit melancholic, but there's still some hope in the little flower. Maybe it's the fact of accepting that my little Agustín is not so little anymore. The woman maybe depicts the home, in
the sense of a mother's love, a warm meal in winter, a chocolate bar in a cloudy day, a nice cake that she just got out of the oven. Children are such a joy for us...
This one is a bit melancholic... the mouse-like umbrella is back too, I'm kinda fond of that umbrella. My wife found a lion-like umbrella and bought it for me, it's a yellow one, although it doesn't look like this one above (e.g. smaller eyes and ears) but it's cute also. That three is the one I made in 3d a while ago which you can also find in this page. This time I got a toon shading for it, so that it will fit this illustration. Thanks for watching, see ya'
No, it's not Steve Jobs website, but a site to post and apply for jobs mostly on design and programming. The site name is Soy El Jefe, I'm the boss. There will be some changes later, mostly on the brown color and another column at right.
A little disclaimer: I didn't draw the character and it's not my decision that it's there.
It's been a while since last time I illustrated something. However, this one turned out quite nice. A while back I drew this one paper and never had the time to develop it. I did some elements in 3d and then I trace some vectors on top of them, it's a time consuming process but it yields nice results.
I'm curently working on this. This is the layout that the client has aproved. However, there will probably be some changes in the menu structure.
I have coded this (so so) in 7 hours. Everything is generated through and XML file, so it's quite easy for customer to add a new section, subsection, images, mail address, etc. The text is html+css so it can be heavily styled (though I don't know if that's good, given the non-designer customer:) and has image embedding capabilities. The concept is something "clear, efficient and direct" according to the customer terms.
I made these two designs for a real state company (ok, actually I made them for an IT company) and they chose the first one. I think it's ok, but maybe I would have gone with the second, because it is more colorful. However, I think it's a wise choice. I've already finished the XHTML+CSS layout and styling for this and 5 more pages within the site. Those lil' rectangles are generic banners made in AS3 (using FlashDevelop, the greatest IDE for AS) with a text and an image in a sort of marquee fashion. I enjoyed this one a lot, cheeeers!
Hice esta imagen como postal propia para estas fiestas. No hay mucho sentido conceptual en esta, me pareció simplemente divertido pensar que un ayudante de Papá Noel se divierta con nuestros arreglos navideños, hey, se tiene que divertir en su trabajo también!
Allá voy tamaño más grande
I've been doing some website work lately, I will be posting here some of them. These designs have been done for a local programming company, which will set up the php+mysql backend. I'm doing not only the design but the table free XHTML as well, using CSS. I've first created the logo, which was asked to be in a 2.0 fashion, ala Flickr, Veoh, YouTube. This page is not finished, it is merely a start, however, I don't feel like posting finished pages so I drop in this one.
I was listening to this Lynn Minmay song in Macross, performed by Mari Iijima, and I though of this phrase, remembering the time my friends and I watched Robotech and how we, kids, believed that a love song could save not only the world, but the whole universe as well. Why is this so forgotten? why we don't remember love? if it's so simple, so true, so pure, so nice. Love. Love can change the world. Love can change the universe. So, Love!

I was thinking about the open world each book is, an open window to an endless world of imagination, where everything is possible, taking us away from everything.
I hope you enjoy it, bye!

Aunque no me gustan mucho los gatos y prefiero los perros siempre, me salió esta pieza inspirada por un gatito negro que daban con la cajita feliz de McDonald.

I made this video as a response to the question, what kind of stuff do we carry daily? I took just the moment of the breakfast, instead of thinking about the whole day, the whole world and mankind. I love small details, and I wanted to show those little details in this video. I hope you enjoy it.
I'm very fond of this umbrella, it reminds me of the Tonari no Totoro movie by Studio Ghibli, since it's a mix of the umbrella and Totoro inspired by that scene where he's waiting for the NekoBus.
I wanted to illustrate how we put great effort to reach our goals, steady, one step at the time.
Butterflies have something magic around them. Whether it's a fairy tale or a movie like Silence of the lambs, butterflies add something unreal to the mood. I wanted to convey the magic-fairy-tale-sweet side of these lil' bugs. I hope you enjoy it.
I just wanted to drop some color on the gray rainy days 'cause they're so great days to me and they brings me sweet colorful memories but makes me feel nostalgic as well.
I was playing the other day with my son at our backyard, and we saw a dolphin shaped balloon flying away. I thought that it would be great to fly away just with a bunch of balloons.
I made this doll in black pen before an examination and coloured digitally later. I was asked by a friend why my gothics are colorful, and I answered her that it's because I have a colorful, bright, sunny side larger than my dark and rainy side.
I made this illustration today (sunday) 'cause after some gardening, picking up lemons and taking care of the roses, I was in the mood for an autumn image (although it's winter here). It's very calm just like the day today, sunny and warm. It's a merge of 3d, photography and painting in some specific areas. I hope you enjoy it.
I took these pictures for college, using a variety of traditional photography techniques. None of these images has been digitally altered, except for resizing and to crop the museum shot to frame it properly. The B&W photos were manually processed in the darkroom. I hope you enjoy them. Of course, the boy in the photo is my beloved Agustín.
Estas son tres fuentes que hice para uso personal o académico, con una versión gratis de TypeTool que venía en una revista Arte y Diseño. Merlín es una fuente que hice para mi hijo Agustín, hace 3 años. Hice Ayumix para el trabajo académico sobre Ayumi Hamasaki que se encuentra más abajo. A partir de la palabra ayumix escrita en un disco, creé el resto. Hice Tessa el año pasado para un trabajo en grupo donde hacimos unos afiches de tono juvenil, y está inspirada en el logo de DJ Tiesto.
Hice esta tarjetita para el cumpleaños de mi nene Agustín. Quería darle un aspecto bonito, así que fuí con este estilo sencillo. Es de noche porque a él le gusta mucho la luna y las estrellas.
