...Two Words Brewery

I was invited by a friend to participate in an art jam for his homebrewed beer project, "Two Words Brewery", which resulted in a little personal ilustration exercise project for me as a series of beer labels, loosely based on Chess pieces and some references to Stephen King and King Crimson.

Un amigo me invitó a participar en un art jam, para la etiqueta de una cerveza artesanal que esta haciendo, lo que resultó en un pequeño experimento/proyecto y le seguí con toda la serie, vagamente basada en las piezas de un juego de ajedrez, Stephen King y la música de King Crimson"

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if "The Dark Tower" and "Crimson King" are copyrighted by Stephen King, but anyways its a homebrewery with no intention to sell, pleaso don't sue / no se si "The Dark Tower" y "Crimson King" las tenga registradas, pero es cerveza artesanal sin intención de venderla, 

..experimenting with font design

Experimenting with font design, first attempt: Transmetrol (beta), having some fun with handmade letters, trying to get the hang of it...

Experimentando un poco con diseño de tipografía, primer intento: Transmetrol (beta), tratando de agarrarle la onda mientras juego con letras a mano...

Just don't ask me how to adjust kerning in Fontlab...babysteps...

...and/or inspired by Metropol

A couple of weeks ago, i got an e-mail from a now friend from Spain, about enjoying my artwork, so Julio is in a band called "Metropol"  and so got talking about (exchanged some e-mails)  some art and music, and maybe some possible future collaborations, here's a piece that came about while listening to their songs.

Hace un par de semanas recibí un correo, de un ahora amigo que disfrutaba de mi ilustraciones, Julio esta en una banda llamada "Metropol", intercambiamos algunos correos, y surgió la posiblidad de una colaboración en un futuro, por lo pronto aqui una pieza que surgió mientras escuchaba su demo.

...Illustration Friday: Detective

... A really quick experiment for illustration Friday

...Preview on stuff

Between the dayjob/work, other projects, and just plain excuses i've been puttin off a personal project for a while now, and i mean a really long time (college i mean), but i recently concluded that until i get this thing out of my system, i won't be able to complete any more personal stuff.

my own imposed deadline is July 23 (my 30th. birthday AND first day of San Diego Comic-Con)

Entre el trabajo, otros proyectos y basicamente escusas y pretextos, he estado evitando terminar un proyecto personal que comenzé hace mucho tiempo (desde la universidad), recientemente me dí cuenta que hasta que no termine esto, no voy a poder seguir con otros proyectos personales.

Me impuse como límite para terminarlo el 23 de Julio (cumplo 30 años ese día Y el primer día del Comic-Con de San Diego)

..."Nerdmigos" web comic colaboration

Thanx to Isma for inviting me to do a guest stint on his weekly web comic strip, "Nerdmigos" it was a fun experiment, doing some old school illustrating and giving writtin' a try, check it out at his webpage for a full resolution image.

Gracias a Ismael, por invitarme a participar como ilustrador/escritor invitado en su web comic semanal, "Nerdmigos", cambiar un poco el estilo a hacer algo a lapiz y tratar de escribir algo, aunque sea corto, fue un experimento divertido, chequen su página para ver a buena resolución la imagen.

Nerdmigos:

"The strip is a charming account of the everyday life of a bunch of bi-lingual nerds, and is written in both English and Spanish. the web comic comes from Mexican-born artist Ismael Alejandro Moreno Ozuna."
