Sketch 111 — Don Pugliese, Part II

Howdy, boys and girls! Do you remember this fellow?

Yeah, it's Don Pugliese, a serious businessdog and an old client of mine. He's rendered a bit differently this time: last time I drew a realistic portrait that he commissioned to hang in his study. This drawing is part of a new project that I'm developing, that you will be able to read here at Titi Sketches soon, for free.

By the way, I've just opened a Pinterest account where you can see my favorite sketches in gallery form, in case you fancy looking at them from time to time (I sure do). The link will be accessible in the Contact section of this site whenever you need it, with the other means for contacting me.

Well, hugs and have a good one!

A Great Lesson On Asking and Sharing

This is a fantastic twelve-minute TED Talk by the musician Amanda Palmer: entertaining, witty, heart-warming and, above all, quite inspiring. I'd advise you to give it a try.

Apparently it went viral as soon as it was released, just a week ago. I only found about it today, when reading Neil Gaiman's blog (which I also recommend if you are interested in his writings, or in the business of writing), so I've decided to share it with you guys as surely there will be one or two more people like me out there who had missed it, and its message is, in my opinion, quite important.

Oh, and after you are done here you might want to visit Palmer's website, to learn more about her or to listen to her music for free (though I think it's well worth paying for).

New logo and postcard for Impronta Films

Hey, guys. Sorry for the few months without posting, life has been quite hectic. I'm going to try and remedy it from now on.

A while ago I explained how I revamped a logo for my friends at Impronta Films, a group of outstanding people who have in their hearts the passion for telling good stories.

Well, I just helped them redesign their whole website, stationery and logo as a holidays present (go there and check it out, if you wish). I also designed a little Holidays postcard for them to send to their friends, families and clients. Nothing too fancy, just a simple reminder to end the year (but not the world, as you have probably noticed) with good feelings.

I asked for their permission to share it with you, as I feel that they are a bit like a family to me, and so are you. They said yes, so here it goes (click on it to expand it):

As we are bilingual, so is the card. So, anyway, as the card says, I also wish all of you happy holidays and a prosperous new year of sketches 2013. Cheers!
