Oaxaca Collection

2014 post not posted: My husband has still been giving me some delicious Oaxacan art lately. For Christmas, and to note the year we became grandparents, a possum with babies. Also a red bull and let's call the next one a creature with horns. 

 

Some really wonderful art on Sandia Fine Mexican Folk Art.

Speaking of logos

I thought this logo was pretty funny.

Logos are tricky

Months ago I was helping out with a new logo, colors and look and feel of a new podcast. I always start with color suggestions from them, and then just spitball images for initial feedback of how far off I am, or if I am on target. This one did not go down so well and I don't take it personally. A friend sent me what they ended up with in the end.

My first pdf of ideas. You just have to know when to give up and not let it hurt your professional feelings

The final logo

A much bigger expression of life

Step into Claudia Bueno’s aquarium-style installation at Meow Wolf’s new space in Las Vegas and experience the slow, oscillating movements of natural life. “Pulse” is comprised of countless white line drawings that are meticulously intertwined and superimposed on 60 glass panels. When illuminated, they mimic scores of nautilus spirals, coral, vines, and botanics that sway and throb in glowing masses. Her instagram. “This is what ‘Pulse’ is, a way of creating animated volumes using layers of drawings that build up. I have been refining this technique for the last six years, understanding how these forms can also have a moving quality when the light system is applied,” the Venezuela-born artist says, noting that the idea for the project grew out of a visit to Yellowstone National Park. Found this on Colossal. Her Instagram.
