My latest commissioned work is an implementation of the client’s ideas, and not so much of my own. This process felt much more like being a forensic sketch artist than a designer. What the client wants it what the client gets, however, and this is one of those occasions where all I can do is [...]
So, pretty much every time a commission is done, balance is required. The balance I refer to is not that of an artistic nature, really, but more of a what-the-client-demands-versus-what-makes-graphic-sense. Here is such an example.
I made a prototype poster and went through only four revisions before achieving the client’s desired finalization, which required incorporation via [...]
So, I finally got the vectors done on this. I’m not ashamed to say that it took a good, long time. Unfortunately, I’m not sure if it’s the lack of sleep or lack of vision, but I’m drawing blanks on composition.
Any help, guys?

Maybe this time I’ll be able to continue a series and develop it as I go along. Already between the last piece [...]

I tried to think about which console would be the coolest to do first in this style, which lead me to the Famicom Disk System. I made this because of pacalin’s [...]
This is pretty self-explanatory, I think. There was extra time, I was bored, so I did something. Here it is.
I made this to a blanket (and, probably, frivolous) request from Newsweek’s Tumblr blog asking for a Newsweek version of the awesome retro-futuristic covers for nonexistent books based on popular web-based social networks by Stéphane Massa-Bidal. I hope that they like it … or at least look at it :-/
UPDATE: They loved it!
I admit that this graphic is kind of morose, but it’s much more toned down than my original concept. What’s it all about? Well, I can’t really sugar-coat it. It’s about a kid chewing on explosive bubble-gum and blowing his jaw off. Here’s where I first published the graphic and the news.
