He pasado el día de hoy en un taller artesanal de grabado. Aunque el grabado en sí mismo no es de las disciplinas que más me llamen la atención a la hora de ilustrar, sí que debo confesarme una completa apasionada de la tipografía y los sistemas de impresión tradicionales.
Por este motivo mis ojos han hecho chiribitas al ver los cajones de tipógrafo llenos de tipos móviles, y la vieja linotype en funcionamiento.
Today I’ve spent the whole day in an engraving workshop. Although engraving is not a discipline that I like so much to make illustrations, I must confess I am a passionate about tipography and letterpress.
For this reason, I could’t hide my emotion when I saw the linotype letterpress machine working, and the typesetter drawers.

So… I know this is not Alice Cooper in another life because he’s still alive, but… Does not he looks like the grumpy cat? I think the lyrics of “Bed of nails” are the clue for this ;)

Due to my BB addiction, I decided to start my new sketchbook with some Breaking Bad character drawings, starting from my favourite, Walter White. In my opinion, this tv serie is one of the best ever produced, and this is my tribute to it.
Mr Filbert’s is a snack brand that offers high quality nuts, made according with different and unique world recipes. The old packaging didn’t show the quality of the product, and didn’t show the product inside.
The problem was that the customers didn’t percibe that the product (whis is quite expensive in comparison with other similar snacks) was a high quality one.My concept proposal for Mr Filberts is a new design that reaches all the different recipes in three different groups, depending on the main flavour, but being a part of the whole range.
Another thing to keep in mind was the style of the character, which was designed based on the Pink Panther cartoons, so I decided to use some geometric shapes, like in the Pink Panther’s movie opening.
*The photos of the nuts are not the final ones, this is just a mockup.

We’ve created the brand identity and collateral for WWF Wildlife mobile. We’ve tried to move things away from the cold, factual marketing of most mobile services (too focused on the numbers) to a more emotive appeal. 60 sec “all you need to know’ animation is really charming. As we are talking to people who support WWF and conservation, it’s only natural to appeal to them on a more emotional level. Rather than use factual photos of animals we wanted to add personality and character to the brand and message – so we created a range of charming animals. (Worked for Compare the Market if you have nay doubt.) The SIM only service is cheaper than the standard ones and 10% of the cost of calls/texts/data goes to support WWF at no cost to you! We also created the line ‘Every conversation helps conservation.’

El medio pollito y el medio real (half chicken)
Posted by mermelada | Editorial, Graphic Design, Illustration | No Comments
The “El medio pollito y el medio real” tale (Half chicken), was writen by A. R. Almodóvar and his stories have been an important influence in my childhood.
My mum used to read this one to me, and we both laugh because the tale was really weird.
This is my vision of the tale, as if it was the cover of the book.
This is a personal project.
I really love the old-fashioned horror movies, and this one is my favorite, because of the victorian ambientation and the special character of the Bride, played by Elsa Lanchester. I think the Frankenstein bride is an icon of the gothic trend, and she is also the starting point of the creation of some other characters like Lily Munster or Morticia Addams.
The illustration has been made by myself, in an interpretation of the “American Gothic” work, by the painter Grant Wood.
Tim Burton’s very personal pet project, Frankenweenie, was an idea that first developed in 1984 with a series of drawings, then a live-action short. Twenty-eight years on, the 3D feature-length version of this sensational story of a boy’s love for his dog, now recreated in black-and-white stop motion animation, opened this year’s Festival to a packed theatre. Frankenweenie is Burton’s third animated feature, following Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas, and his first for Disney.
The film’s production involved a huge team of artists, puppet and prop makers alongside 33 animators. Their work is on display in The Art of Frankenweenie exhibition, taking place at the Festival Village, Southbank Centre, which opens to the public today. The Frankenweenie exhibit presents a glimpse into the filmmaking process, capturing the detail of sketches, sets and models that brought the story of Victor and his dog Sparky to the big screen.

When my childhood friend’s sister sent me the message asking me to design her new shop’s brand, I knew it was going to be an amazing project that I was going to enjoy.
She loved the first sketches I did, with the vintage concept, so after the difficult task of choose one of them to develop, I was free to do a very emotional, retro and professional brand that could match the style of the shop, and the personality of the owner.
The shop will be open soon, in the city of Ribadeo, in Galicia (Spain).
London calling to the faraway towns
Now war is declared and battle come down
London calling to the underworld
Come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls
London calling, now don’t look to us
Phoney beatlemania has bitten the dust
London calling, see we ain’t got no swing
Except for the ring of that truncheon thing
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running, but I have no fear
‘Cause London is drowning and I live by the river
London calling to the imitation zone
Forget it, brother, you can go at it alone
London calling to the zombies of death
Quit holding out and draw another breath
London calling, and I don’t wanna shout
But while we were talking I saw you nodding out
London calling, see we ain’t got no high
Except for that one with the yellowy eyes
The ice age is coming, the sun is zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
‘Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river
The ice age is coming, the sun’s zooming in
Engines stop running, the wheat is growing thin
A nuclear error, but I have no fear
‘Cause London is drowning and I, I live by the river
Now get this
London calling, yes, I was there too
And you know what they said? Well, some of it was true
London calling at the top of the dial
And after all this, won’t you give me a smile?
London calling
I never felt so much alike alike alike alike…
