Books...

noreply@blogger.com (Ruben) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 11:57:00 +0000

Here you have 3 books where you can find some of my artworks, "Custom Kicks" is already for sale. Emil Kozak's "Plenty of Design" is coming soon and "New Skateboard Graphics" will be in stores by November, but you can pre-order it in Amazon. There are a lot of great artists on them, so I think you will not regret if you decide to take a copy.

AlaiKit (I like it)

noreply@blogger.com (Ruben) — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 17:06:00 +0000

This is an advance of the merchandising of the Alai new skateboard video: AlaiKit. The pronunciation of this word in spanish is like to say "I like it", just a word play.
I'm gonna show you soon the animation i'm doing for the intro and more merchandising such as tees, wheels, posters and stuff. I hope you like it.
---------------
Un anticipo del merchandising que se esta preparando para el nuevo video de Alai, del que he sido encargado de crear la imagen.
En este caso no es una tabla normal de patín, si no un cruiser, que es un tipo de tabla más fina y con más forma que las normales. Ideales para navegar la ciudad.

King and Queen

noreply@blogger.com (Ruben) — Wed, 02 Apr 2008 19:56:00 +0000

The owner of an apartment very close to mine tried to kill himself by leaving the gas open, the apartment exploded but he survived. The next day the firemen were cleaning the place and I found these pieces of wood which survived to the explosion. Now they are a poker King and Queen. Acrylic on wood.

Old School Riders

noreply@blogger.com (Ruben) — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 11:03:00 +0000

Alai skateboards just released a serie of boards for the spanish old-school riders who pushed up the scene back in the 80's. They could choose the designer, the board size, and what they want on their graphic. Edu "Rat" Saenz is one of them and he chose me to design a Virgen of Guadalupe for their board. It seems like he's happy with the graphic. I'm proud to be part of this project too.

noreply@blogger.com (Ruben) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 15:54:00 +0000

My friend and boss at Alai skateboards, Carlos, is getting married!
I was invited to make their wedding invitation. I was waiting till the end to do it so they can't tell me to modify anything...
I wish you the best, friends!
---------------------
Mi amigo y máxima autoridad de Alai skateboards, Carlos, se nos casa pronto con su chica Ainize. Me encargaron hacerles la invitación de boda para mandar a todos los amigos y familiares y he esperado hasta el último momento para entregársela, así no me la tiran atrás. En ella se ve a Ainize arrastrando a Carlos a la iglesia mientras este intenta agarrarse a lo que sea. Fuera bromas os deseo lo mejor de lo mejor parejita y que tardeis mucho, pero mucho mucho en divorciaros ;)

I just finished the redesign of the Alai Skateboards website, this had me a few weeks busy as hell. I invite you to check it out, specially the "Selecta" section, the artistic division of Alai where great artists like Fernando Elvira, Bongoût or Eltono contributed with decks as canvas. Check out the video section too, with the full lenght video "AlaiOle", the Bamboo tour in China and a lot of "Weeklips", a weekly video clip filmed and edited by Edu Muñoz.

Acabo de terminar el rediseño de la web de Alai Skateboards. Esto me ha tenido estos días más ocupado que el peluquero de chewacca, te invito a echarle un ojo en especial a la sección de Selecta, el espacio dedicado a colaboraciones con artistas como Fernando Elvira, Bongoût o Eltono por ejemplo. En la sección de videos te puedes tirar un buen rato también, estan practicamente todos los videos que se han hecho hasta el momento, incluyendo nuestro primer gran video "AlaiOlé", así como el tour por China y los Weeklips, pequeños clips semanales filmados y editados por Edu Muñoz.

Mi colega Ruben Garcia siempre mantiene mis pies calenticos con las zapas DC que me da, estas me las dió para pintarrajearlas y así quedaron. Las saqué una noche y ya no son tán así.
