Eric Kent Wine Cellars is a California based boutique producer of Sonoma County wines that recently released a new Chardonnay featuring my art on it's labels. You can order it now but for prime drinking you need to wait a few more years. Here is the artist page and these are some words from their product statement:
"As a husband and wife (winemaker and artist) team we combined our passions to create a label that celebrates craft both inside and outside the bottle. Our goal is to capture a bit of the best California has to offer in every glass, creating wines that are proud of their bold fruit and yet still able to seduce you with their nuance and finesse. We hope this same attention to quality is reflected in the stunning art featured on our labels."
One of my latest projects includes the cover design for the Mexican magazine México Design, issue 19th, one of the main articles is about ecologist and sustainable design solutions and that's what my illustration is based of. Here the final results and the quick preliminary sketch I did to show my idea. And in the next issue number 20th I'm featured with an interview and artwork showcase :)
I really love to see my work in products and recently I collaborated with the brand Slingshot to create a few original designs for their great hand-made Kite Boards. Unfortunately nobody will get to use them because my designs didn't make it in the production, apparently the artwork doesn't fit with the brand's audience :-( But I really enjoyed making these.
The good news: I have something else to share with you!
The Iceland based clothing brand Nikita just launched it's Summer collection featuring one design I was commissioned to do while ago and it comes in diverse girly colors for hoodies and tees.
Two years ago I was invited to work in Studio Baestarts with base in Budapest, Hungary for two months for a 3D animated project as a concept artist for character development and environment concept art. Here is some of the work I did for this project.
Parliament, a great design studio based in Portland commissioned me recently to create a Christmas/Holidays imagery for Microsoft's Holidays Campaign pitch. The client decided to go with some other style but at least I had the chance to design a few ornamental illustrations ad-hoc with the season :) Happy Holidays everyone!!!
I also presented my proposal in three different color palettes to work with:
In a partnership between JWT, Möve and Bernstein & Andriulli from NY, 11 artists were selected to represent some sexual and comic situations. The art pieces were created on 2D, and 5 were chosen to be reinterpreted on 3D art by VetorZero.
In addition a line of T-Shirts with the slogan and the original art created for this Brazilian campaign.
My illustrations all over Mexico City!!! :) This is the opening credits animation for the Mexican feature movie Rock Marí. I was commissioned by the team of Maribel Martinez in Mexico to collaborate in the creation of diverse illustrations compelling the personality of this little musician girl (Rock Marí) who likes to travel and wants to be a rock-star. They had these aerial scenes of Mexico City and the idea was to populate all kind of "girly" illustrations giving life to the buildings during the initial credits. The work was done in a super short time, last minute job! At the end everything turned out good.
Thanks to Gabriela Badillo, Diego Huacuja and some other animators (I don't have all the credits) who made the great 2D/3D compositing, animation and motion tracking work on this piece.
Here are the illustrations I provided and the final animation!
I was commissioned by the very talented and good pal David Kamp to redesign his Sound Design Identity in a fun and character driven direction, after a few different options he chose the one at the top on this post, along with it I created a speaker-character as an additional element to play with the new identity. Hopefully we will see it animated as well!
