New Blog

Well, as told, I changed the blog...


Seems like the same, right?
Well, I changed address, not only design.
If you had www.raulvillanueva.com bookmarked then I'm sure you are not reading this.
But if you have http://purpledodo.blogspot.com/, then you are still here... Sad, sad...
I'm not going to update this blog any more, but will still be online, no need to delete it. And more the reason because I'm NOT moving all the posts from here to the new one.
New year, new decade, new blog, clean.

See you there.

2010

New year, and not new year resolutions...

I'm a little scared about this year, is a Tiger year... I read somewhere that is supposed to be a weak tiger due to the combination of the year element and the tiger element. I think I will thank that. But more investigation is needed. Anyway, I'm Monkey... also Sol (my wife) and monkeys are like... oposites of tiger... so that scares me a little.

This last year wasn't bad, but wasn't specially good neither.
I need a good year.

Well, actually we started buying some nice art for the home, a big framed Cherman silkscreen from his last show, loved it.
And just before Christmas Maricel gave us her 3 framed photographs, they also look fantastic on the living room.

fuck, is hot today...

Olivia started tennis clases this week, and so far she is loving it.

I think that I do have a new year resolution, kind of:


I'll try to finish old projects.


That is a long list of things to do. Fucking long.
But I already started, I'm painting again my dwarf munny, and is going well.
I also (an this one is hard, and tricky) started reading my story Demonios! with the idea of -at least- continuing writing it.

As I said, the list of unfinished projects is long, so no more for now, baby steps.

Pattern

Some insects pattern.

A detail.

I'm doing a lot of patterns lately for a project. This is one that I'm sharing, because the Illustration Friday theme compels me. I just can't avoid it...
Hope you like it.

Reencarnacion

Usually, I don't post any kind of Graphic Design work samples here. The work I do at my work is more or less confidential, and I do very little freelancing. Because, I'm going to be honest with you... usually I hate working directly with clients.

However, when a friend asked me for help with the image of her new store, I couldn't say no.
It's been fun, she is very cool and a good artist, and she love what I did for her.

Reencarnacion (reincarnate) is a little store that rescue old furniture, from the 50's-60's, and refurbishes and give new life to it, all with Maricel's style.

So I designed a logo that reflects that, I think is very self explanatory...




New life on old wood, and playing with the duplicity of two lives on the letters.
An important part of the design elements is a pattern, to be used in bags, gift paper and all that.


...but the first we did, is a wall paper, very cool.



Well, maybe I'll update this with more elements, but don't hold your breath, and don't wait sitting, go outside and play with the dog...

Cheers.
