Razauno — 2009-10-07T00:43:02+00:00

some time ago Aye Jay Morano invited me to be part of a book he was working on with his 6 years old son paintings, the idea was to take some of his pieces and work around them to make a collabo…no deadlines no pressure, just have fun with it…he is been working on this project for the last 2 years and finally he was able to publish it.

Thank Aye Jay and Cohen for the invitation to be part of such a great project…also you can check the work of other friends like Cody, Grotesk many other artists in this book…

Arturo Vega Ramone

Razauno — 2009-09-21T00:59:28+00:00

Arturo Vega was the guy in charge of the image for the RAMONES…he was the guy who came with the idea of the ramones seal, that logo that is been recognizable for a lot of generations and has been revisit many times by skate and surf companies…
Another example of timeless and good design.

Mad Men

Razauno — 2009-08-14T19:31:23+00:00

Few weeks ago my friend Raph sent me this link of a radio show about this ongoing beef that has been between Art director George Lois and famous copywriter Julian Koenig , I knew about George Lois work since everybody in the creative industry seems to respect him and admire him with big passion, he is always been a reference when it comes to the great advertising days, and how this guys came with so many “Good Ideas” including all the covers that he “did” for Squire magazine, and the whole I want my MTV campaign, among other things…but what i didnt know was about his reputation for taking credit for other peoples ideas…listen to the show and make your own judgment…also let me know if anybody wants a George Lois $ellebrity book

CEKIS

Razauno — 2009-08-07T02:02:55+00:00

I met Nelson (Cekis) in 2005 when the twins came to town for their show in the Deitch, he is a close friend with them and we talk for hours about art, graff and Chile, where he is from, Im always surprise of how many talented people live in NY and so far all of them are really nice people, Nelson is one of them, his work is really amazing and true to his south american heritage, it has that vibe of the mexican muralists with some graff influence…

Im pretty sure we will hear more about him soon…

Tony DiSpigna

Razauno — 2009-02-24T02:41:13+00:00

Tony DiSpigna is one of my favorite typographers, till today i haven’t see anybody with such good hand for lettering, yeah there is tons of people doing great shit with type, no doubt about it but just to think that Mr. DiSpigna was doing this almost 30 years ago with no illustrator is something else…He worked with Lubalin,Ernie Smith and Alan Peckolick in the Design firm Lubalin & Associates in NY in the late 70’s.
