Collecting covers has always been a hobbie of mine for a while now. Since I started to appreciate all the hard work that is put into the visual side of products I felt bad on throwing away a lot of the packaging. One of my favorite pieces would have to be Cd covers, even though the music industry is slowly moving everything to digital I still like to buy a Cd that has a nicely put together package. Rock en Español’s earliest released cd’s have some of the coolest simplest covers out there. Simply Classics, a must have in the inspirational bolt of printed media. Here are some of my favorite. Enjoy.
Rango, this movie looks awesome. Really, by now I would think you guys know that anything that has to do with the “Mexicano” lifestyle is the best. . This is the first trailer released for this upcoming 3D movie featuring Johnny Depp as the lizard. The Mariachi made up of a bunch of owls is the best. Enjoy.
I hope that I’m not the only one that thinks that Mexican product packaging is the best. No one really pays attention to what sells the product. I have always wanted to do something with this concept maybe some paintings, or simple poster prints. Here are some reference shots I took today when I went to the local “Cardenas”. Sorry about the blurriness on some of them but there was an employee kinda looking at me in a weird way, made me feel a little uncomfortable so I had to snap the pictures super fast with the iPhone. Salsa “El Pato” package is the best. “Diremos Qua Quack” Enjoy.
A true soccer player plays because of the love for the game the pay has to always be a plus. Unfortunately now a days a lot of people worry more about the pay and forget to perform. Antonio Carbajal “El Cinco Copas” talks the truth about the players of today. Check it out, he said it himself. “Los peores jugadores, ganan mas”, this is how it is in almost everything, from the entertainment world to the art world today. I love old people .
On Saturday night after we closed down the DIMEX Store I headed over to Victorville, CA to visit my good friend John Salazar. I have know John since we were in Jr. High and still manage to talk to him all the time. Hehe, I guess I can call him my best friend. He has always been into graffiti, painting, drawing and building things, so I went over to check out his little studio in his home. Inspirational resources, good music, cool figurines, and a chill environment is what his studio had, all and a little couch where you can chill when done painting for the night. He has started a project called “The Bomb Factory” a clothing line/lifestyle that is based on comic books, pop culture, rock music, graffiti and some Latino influence. I been seeing some of his early ideas and to be honest they look dope, so get ready for the Bomb, it’s coming to a store near you. Here are some images of the studio. Suave.
Even though my “Seleccion” got disqualified today when they played the so hated by many Argentina’s National Team, we are still feeling the World Cup fever. I think I’m rooting for Germany’s team now that the USA and Mexico are gone from the big party. “Ni Pedo” here’s this song by the man from Somalia Africa Knaan. Enjoy.
Leonardo Da Vinci a man that looked for perfection in every medium as an artist. Many of his pieces were never completed a man with a short span of attention with great ideas and a will to create and revolutionize the modern world. Leonardo the man ahead of his time.
Sometimes songs stick to your head for a long time, I been watching almost every soccer game of the World Cup and have heard this song in the start, half time and ending of every game so now It repeats itself over and over in my mind. I can’t help it, it’s a song I can call “Sabrosa” with “Ritmo”, “Pegajosa” y “Bailable”. Shakira is an expert when it comes to that, so now “It’s time for Africa” every one start “Waka Wakiando”. Enjoy.
A year without Miguelito Jackson. El 25 de junio del 2009 el mundo se conmocionó con la noticia de la muerte de Michael Jackson. Si y es verdad, I didn’t listen to his music much but when the news spread around about his passing I started to listen up and loved some of his “rolas”. I see the artist, creator, trend setter, idealist, entertainer, darer of new things, experimental and quiet man. Here’s a piece I did about Mike last year. I honor his work by posting my favorite video of them all “Thriller”. I hope it’s one of your favorites too.
It’s been around three months of pain, stress, love, dedication, art, tears, learning and crazy experiences since we opened our first retail store. We went from getting a place that looked like a dump but with lots of expectations to a place with great ideas and a future of it’s own. It’s been a crazy experience since day one and can’t wait for what the store and my brand holds for the future. I’m doing a lot of art work on the side, coming up with ideas to make the brand a more interactive one and not just another brand that takes your money and runs away, we just did a deal with an online company that eats, breathes and sleeps Latino based Clothing brands and can’t wait on how this company will make our brand grow, I’m coming up with simpler designs with the full DIMEX flavor you all love and most importantly having a blast at doing what I love. All I can say is “Gracias”.
. This is the first trailer released for this upcoming 3D movie featuring Johnny Depp as the lizard. The Mariachi made up of a bunch of owls is the best. Enjoy.
