So one of my new year’s resolution was to update my website as well as this blog.. It is now almost February and I am getting to it!
I am manifesting many new and wonderful things into my life and so I had designed this illustration with that in mind. I had an amazing experience during new year’s eve/day with friends up in Untilla, FL… in the boonies you can say. But alas, here is the illustration which I also entered in a skateboard deck design competition thanks to my friend Denn who pushed me to do it. Thanks Denn!

I also wanted to go back to being more creative, I have been in a slump this past year, and even though I did manage to produce 3 magazines for Iniciativa Colectiva, I still feel I could have done more and so that’s my goal, to creative fun events along with Fabrika and take advantage of their great awesome new space in the Wynwood Design District in Miami. This is the year to start fresh and new. And I want to do just that. Start fresh. ‘10. Best. Year. Ever. It will be.

Pink Ghost Grand Re-Opening!

September 8, 2009 – 8:30 pm

(I wrote this post directly to Iniciativa Colectiva, and I wanted to share it here too :) – Nic

Hanging out at the Grand Re-Opening of one of South Florida’s awesomest stores – Pink Gost

Located at 1888 Polk Street, in the heart of Downtown Hollywood, sisters Paola and Andrea Mendez have moved their fabulous art and designer toy store to a livelier part of town where we can already see that they’re gonna keep thriving as they have for the past three years.

Iniciativa Colectiva wishes the girls and Pink Ghost all the success that they absolutely deserve! If you’re in the area, be sure to stop by and say hi, you won’t be able to resist playing and examining all the wonderful toys they have, it’s like a grown-up’s playground!!!

Cheers!

Ahh Pantone! The truest colors that be! I’m calling my sister, she works at one of the Gaps in NYC…She must’ve known about this and didn’t tell me!!!

Pantone teamed up with Gap to create one hell of a pop-up store in NYC. Via: Selectism

Although I’ve never heard the music, the packaging certainly caught my eye and so, here it is…Enjoy!

I don’t remember where I stumbled upon this guy, Tony Ward – the model (he was in Madonna’s 1992 ‘Erotica’ video and her book ‘Sex’ and he photographs great. Here are some shots for last year’s Baily Hat Campaign.
