INQ Mobile Packaging

The INQ Mini 3G is a new cell phone launched in Europe and Asia with social mobile apps including connection to Facebook, Twitter, Skype and IM all built in. The phone is featuring my work on the packaging and a few of the instructional cards that comes in the box, as well my illustrations are taking part in the promo campaign.

"At INQ we make Social Mobiles. We think the world’s a better, more exciting and diverse place when technology makes it easy for people to express themselves however and whenever they want.

Art, in the many forms it takes, is key to self-expression, and has greatly benefitted from the internet in terms of reach. We want to extend this process, which is why we run INQ + ART.
This is our first project: “the box is a canvas, help is a card”

Beautiful illustrations curated to grace the back of the INQ help cards and the box, from illustrators we happen to really like. We thought we’d help to get the message out about what they do, and turn our packaging into objects to cherish, not chuck."

Puma Urban Art 2009

Finally I can post some pictures about how was my trip this year to the great city of Buenos Aires in Argentina, still dreaming with the fantastic time that my family and I spent pretty much eating the best food ever, walking all around the city, famous places and meeting a bunch of interesting and talented people. I was invited to give a speech for the second edition of the Puma Urban Art festival during August 1st and 2nd along with the well known artist and illustrator Nate Williams, the brazilian graffitti-duo of Alto*Contraste (Lee & Lou) and some others important local artists. The festival took place in the Auditorium 2, part of the Centro Cultural Recoleta complex with an affluence of 3,000+ people offering Illustration & art lectures, live painting, skate & bike exhibitions, live music and screening shows.

Originally we planned to stay for one week only but we ended up staying long 25 days, we had the great opportunity to live the real experience of being in Buenos Aires almost like a local and we totally loved it! Hopefully one day we will go back again and maybe for much longer time :)
