After a lot of work and tweaking around things, we’ve finally made live the landing page for COOQ (http://cooq.com/). I’d love to hear your feedback!
I’ve been looking for a while for a tutorial that explains how to do tileable textures in photoshop. Two days ago I stumbled on Phil Coffman’s great video tutorial (from Method & Craft) explaining exactly what I wanted. Definitely must check it out!
I created this design really quick to show a client some ideas I had in mind for his construction related iPad app’s website. This is the original sketch for the character: As always, any comments are appreciated!
I’m creating a mascot character for a client’s business, and this is part of the brainstorming process: One of my favorite steps of this job . Here’s one of the characters that I came up with during the brainstorming session: For generating ideas my favorite thing to do is draw for hours whatever comes into [...]
Now that I have a couple of characters designed, I started putting together the landing page. Wasn’t 100% sure about the button, I think it looks nice, but don’t know if it matches the style that we’re going for. I’d love to hear your comments please, anybody! In case you’re wondering, the purpose of this [...]

I’ve been collecting inspirational pieces for the last two weeks and studying the work from dribbble awesome artists like Jayde Cardninalli, Glenn Thomas, Lydia Nichols, Shiu Pei Luu and many others.

Played a little bit trying to achieve an old school cartoon style for a coming up project. Any comments?
Today I started drawing a set of characters that are going to be included in the final design for my friend’s landing page.

Today I was drawing a set of characters that a friend asked me to do for his startup. The italian cook is just one of them, I’ll post the rest in the following days.
This is my post for last Friday, unfortunately this drawing took so freaking long! I was trying to practice textures more than everything. Although it doesn’t look super awesome, I learned a lot while working on it. I felt a lot more confortable using Sketchbook Pro this time around. Check out bigger version here:
(Full size image) I got CreatureBox sketchbook last Tuesday and I’ve never been more inspired to draw! I was amazed at how good they were at using Sketchbook Pro, so I decided to give it a shot today (tonight)
I had a meeting today with a really cool guy and he told me about this crazy idea he had for his startup logo. The icon I designed is just the base for that idea, but it still looks pretty cool . Everything was designed in Photoshop from scratch, using real life pictures (of my [...]
For today’s post I chose to design a logo for my friend who’s just getting his business started and to be honest had a crappy logo (to say the least). It hasn’t been approved yet, but thought I might share it here. Designing is becoming so addictive! Post your comments or say something if you [...]
