New Patterns

Although these patterns were created a couple months ago for Day Runner, now they are finally ready to be published. When it comes to creating prints and patterns, I'm trying different techniques like sketching, drawing or carvings to achieve some interesting textures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Music Inspiration

When I started my blog I thought, "I will post all of my new work and things that inspire me", but as time shows, the posting frequency has been much slower that desired...Well, it will be one of those New Year's resolutions. Keep up the good work and have the work published. For now I've decided to add new chapters about what inspires me and may also inspire you. First, Music.

I've been a long time fan of Brendan Perry and his music and I can't wait for his new album coming out in 2010. The experience of watching and listing him live in NYC with Lisa Gerrard during the Dead Can Dance Reunion Tour in 2005 was unforgettable. Visit his website to learn more about his new album.

New Product

Here are some things DAY RUNNER have coming out for the new calendar year. Some of them are already available in Staples, OfficeMax or OfficeDepot. I especially like the Floral Silhouette product. It was fun designing it but very difficult to make it happen in mass production. All Made in USA.

 

 

New patterns

This simple oval shape has been in my sketchbook for weeks and it's finally given birth to a new pattern.

I recently had the pleasure to work with Sharon Lesley and David Ohrenstein on their new musical production " Three Queens" and design the poster, program and CD label. An extremely tight deadline and no available budget can sometimes be an interesting environment to work in. The event premiered at Scott's Playhouse at Oquaga Lake in Deposit, NY and was a huge success. I'm looking forward to future collaborations and more opportunities to do more creative work in the music industry.

Type pattern

Here are some my new type patterns that I created recently.

This is for me a kind of "play" activity. Better that any puzzles.

Most Recent Project2

Several months ego, I've been invited to join CAST Genesis Awards Committee and to help them design some printed materials for this year's edition. The theme for 2009 Awards was COLLABORATION and I took a typographic approach to illustrate the complexity of working together as a group. The word COLLABORATION has been broken into unconventional puzzles. The project included : New logo, Call For Entries booklet, Invitation, Reply card and Awards Event Program. It's been a truly pleasure to work with Cast members and I'm looking forward to the future collaboration.
