Hace en realidad poco más de 1 mes que mi sitio pasó la enorme barrera (para mí al menos) de los 300 posts y como para los 100 y los 200 posts no hice nada, esta vez era necesario cambiar la rutina.

Para eso decidí contactarme con los amigos del siempre fiel Dommushost y amablemente decidieron colaborar para juntos regalarle a los visitantes de mi sitio una cuenta de hosting + un dominio .com totalmente gratis por todo un año.

Para ganarte el premio, simplemente tienes que dejar un comentario en este post con un saludo, crítica, mensaje de odio, de amor, de admiración, repudio o lo que sea por mi sitio; y de todos los comentarios que lleguen se hará una elección completamente al azar de la que saldrá el flamante ganador.

Para información detallada del premio, sigue leyendo en este post.

I just updated my portfolio with a whole new layout plus 7 (or 4 actually) new works.

Decided to go with Shadowbox to give it a try.

As always any comments, critiques and thoughts are welcome.

Enjoy.

I’ve been pretty much missing from the blog these last few days, I’m aware that the blog postings haven’t been as frequent as ussual.

This is because I’ve been a bit disperse mentally, a lot of things on my mind; plus last week I had a computer issue that ended up with me losing all of my works!, so it hasn’t been the nest week as you can imagine.

However, the site is still alive, I apologize for my absence but I promise I’ll be getting back to you with more news and info on new exciting projects.

Cheers to you all.

I’ve just updated my portfolio with 6 new works among which I include a font that is free to download.


Halfway is a font I’ve developed from the idea of reducing characters while maintaining their meaning. It’s still a 1.0 version, so there may be some updates done to it in the future or I might release a rounded version I’m working on.


The font is still under an Attribution-Noncommercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 Creative Commons license, so you can use it for personal projects while giving credit to its author, and for commercial projects you have to ask for my permission.


Within the zip file you’ll find all three weights (Normal, Bold and Black) in TrueType (TTF) and OpenType (OTF) versions to use in PC and Mac.


You can download it directly through here: Halfway; or from the portfolio.


Hope you like the update and any comments you may have please don’t hesitate to contact me or leave a comment.

Phil Chang (A.K.A. Slick Corea) is an excelent designer, music producer, rapper, apart from being a KDU creative consultant.


A while ago he asked some people to collaborate with his senior thesis project: A full length rap album alongside a graphics book with images related to each one of the songs.


Being a rap and design fan, I couldn’t let this chance slide.


Now Phil just released the album under the title of Children of Idiom along with the book, and they’re both kickass.


Inside the album you’ll find excelent excelent tracks (the beats are insane) alongside top-notch musicians; and in the book you’ll find the incredible works of Eric Chang, Adhemas Batista, Peter Jaworowski, Josh Vanover, Simone Magurno, Pablo Alfieri, James White, Diego Quintana, Radim Malinic, Eric Sin, Ravi Vasavan, Justin Maller, Michael Creagh, Kervin Brisseaux, Emeric Trahand, João Oliviera and Gianluca Fallone.


My modest collaboration to the project is the second image above.


An absolute honor to be in such a fun project with exceptional artists, plus working with Phil was a joy by itself. Cool cat indeed.


Thanks a bunch to mr. Chang for making me a part of this kickass project, and much success on works to come.


Of course the invite is open for everyone to download the album, a the book, and the sweet little Extras pack on the website.


PS: The HTML code for the entire artists list was copied from James White’s blog (thanks James).

The Pint Series is a project created by Matthew Barton, consisting of different series of printed postcards made by designers from all over the world.


These series go from 3 to 5 images each, they’re 6″x4″, and the price is US$20 plus shipping.


The nice part about this is that you can send your own series, anf it gets chosen, they send you a printed copy for free, and a set of 100 limited editions get put up for sale. Also you get US$500 plus a donation made on your behalf for US$250 to the As Green As It Gets foundation.


I already sent in my “Sensuality Series”, so if you want to purchase it, just click here.


Plus, I was interviewed by them. You can read the interview here or after the break.

Today, with great surprise, I found out I just appeared on issue 21 of the great website YayMonday.


The thing about this site is that each monday, 9 new creatives from around the world are displayed.


Quite an honor to be there, plus, they also featured my man Veggie, so it’s a double-pointer for the chilean folks.


Also, big up to Ricardo Villavicencio who was featured on issue 19.
