The end of the year is near and it is making me want to get everything finished so I can start 2011 fresh.

Now when I'm going to have time to update my own website? Read Full Story

New Year's card I designed for 123print.com Like every TV channel has their end-of-the-year summary of the big events that happened that year, I do the same. Ok, let's see what I did this year...

A few months ago I was hired by the owner of The Uniform Store in Winchester, VA to redesign their website. They wanted the site to reflect the look and atmosphere of the store. After a couple designs after seeing photos of the store, the new Uniform Store website was born. The illustrations in the site are done by artist Tracey Buchanan , who I also designed a site for.   Click on the dog Millie to see his cute page. Read Full Story

On December 19th my Dad got married in Puerto Rico. It was a very special experience to share with my Dad and his new wife Yadira. It was also fun and not your typical wedding.

After everyone arrived, we all left together to where the wedding was going to take place in Loiza. My Dad... Read Full Story

Well, only one of my designs is in a book. But still pretty exciting. In the book Creative Workshop: 80 challenges to sharpen your designs skills by David Sherwin I made a design for a wine label. Always cool to see your name in print. The book is very cool. It has a lot of fun design challenges. I'm committing to do one a week starting in the new year and posting the results here. I'm not going to do all of them but it should be fun. Read Full Story

This year because of circumstances beyond anyone's control, my family was 300 miles away and I spent Thanksgiving Day by myself. I was determined to not get sad about it. So when I got up in the morning I made a big nice breakfast. It wasn't a day for Pop Tarts or cereal. I ate breakfast while watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Yeah Beverly, that is your sunflower and Mark that is your artwork next to the TV. I used to see the parade every year like every kid. I probably haven't... Read Full Story

Last week I went with a friend to the Baltimore Museum of Art. It took me by surprise all the cool things they have. And it reminded me that I should get back to the wonderful world of art making. Here are some random shots I took here and there. I just realized that most of the pictures I took were of sculptures. Hmmm... Read Full Story

This has been a very holiday-filled week. I designed a Halloween poster and then switch gears to design Christmas cards. Yes, it is coming. For the last two years I have designed the promotion materials for a Halloween party in Paducah, KY hosted by the 20/30 Group called Boo Bash. It is always fun to do. Here is what I designed for this year. Read Full Story
