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!

New Looks, Same Old Titi

Since yesterday, Dim Light Creatures sports a new shiny logo. I'm quite proud of how it looks.

This blog has also experienced a few changes to keep up with the main website. I believe it looks sleekier now, too. It has a new header that identifies the blog properly and easily describes what you're going to find inside. The layout of the blog is better structured now.

But the main change is in the titi, who is still throwing sketches (and news) at you from the top right corner of this blog, with his best aim and his worst intentions. But instead of looking like this:

He has changed his looks (because, honestly, who needs a haircut or a comb these days, really), and now looks like this:

I tried to convince him to stay the same, but he wouldn't listen (has he ever...?). Well, I suppose he doesn't look that different, after all. And let me tell you, he's still the same old pain in the ass who every day steals my food, throws my shoes out the window and leaves me without my favorite pencils so he can go fly on them.

Oh, well, at least he still does his job. Sort of.

Sketch 027 (Many Happy Returns)

Hey. Obviously, things didn't go as planned.

As it often does, life happened, and for most of last year I couldn't find the time nor the motivation to draw anything, even less to publish it here. But I've decided that you have to do what you have to do to enjoy life, no matter the obstacles, and drawing is one of the things that I've done with more pleasure since I was a kid.

Thus, recently I've been drawing again; and from this point on, I'm going to start giving my sketches, old and new, to the Titi again, so he can keep throwin' em at ye with all the strength of his tiny, hairy arms.

They might not come in daily, but they'll keep coming frequently. So, if you're interested, I hope you'll check the blog from time to time for more sketches and news. Here's a new one:

Oh: I also intend to make storytelling, preferably with words and drawings, an integral part of my life. I have plans for that. Stay tuned for more news in the upcoming months.

Life goes on

This was a week of changes, most of them expected, some of them not. I’m going to have more time, at least for a while, to dedicate to my personal projects. This blog will be on top of them. I plan to have lots of fun, experiment more, and share it all here with whoever comes along.

So far there aren’t many of you (I’m practically running this show for myself), but I feel it’s about time I start letting more people know that I’m here. If there’s anyone out there who would love what I do, I want to find them, or them to find me.

As someone I know always tells me, these things take time. What matters is that you take a jump and keep reaching out.
