Burger King Double Duty Box
Printed on the side of a cardboard dual device for takeaway beverages.
One of those little details that I enjoy finding on our usually annoying corporate enviroment. It looks like written by me.

Twitlinks!
Gary made some weeks ago a web app named TwitLinks that gathers links from top tech writers on Twitter as a kind of live zeitgeist. As soon as I found out about it I couldn't help making some graphics for it. I've been using Twitter for a while and all the bird-related aesthetics are very pleasing to work with:
So I had the idea of keeping the sky-blue and bird aspects of Twitter and add a geeky touch with the laptop and glasses. Am I original or what?
What wasn't easy at first but now I'm pretty setisfied with is that I used Illustrator to get the thing done. As some of you may know, I'm not a vector guy. I'm a photoshop guy. A sketchy guy. I think those looks suit this kind of apps better, so I give it a try.
Of couse, after that I got all excited about making things and changing bit and reusing parts, so I made a few more posses for our feathered fellow, then I made the obvious 404 error page that cannot be missing:
I like the 50's-ish flat tubes and the yellow helmet I gave him.
After all this, I was ready to make myself a stripped down background for my own Twitter account featuring our little fellow and clouds, thought to be tiled and lightweight. You can see it in use here.

burning lemon juice
- What is that? Your problems depicted in a metaphorical and graphical way?
- No, it's my friend Ruben.
That happens when you're trying to call somebody by phone and they don't pick up. You have some paper nearby and the brain does, well, stuff like this. I also had the idea of painting it with the juice of a cut lemon that was around and they make it appear as magic by heating it up over the stove. Oh invisible ink childhood messages!

Story of a Weekend Trip
I made a small video with the two clips I asked Yami to take while we were coming back from our weekend at Mar de las Pampas. The clips were intended for passingby.net (and you can see them there by looking right!) but just a couple of hours earlier I had the idea it might be nice to put those together with some music and quick sketching about the trip itself. So I looked and found CamStudio and used it while I played with Photoshop and the Wacom. The music is CC licensed and I got it from Magnatune, both songs are by Arthur Yoria from his album Handshake Smiles.
