INTERVIEWED BY BURGERBUNNY!!


Hey everyone!! As most of you know i got my first daily deviation a few days ago by BurgerBunny and she asked me if she could give me an interview for her Incredible Iconists Article!!! I got so excited!! :la: You can see the article here!! news.deviantart.com/article/13… :la: Thank you so much BurgerBunny!!!!

In the meantime..today i went to a new job as a "helper". I worked at a big kind of "store" called 4 Day Clearance. And what they do, 4 days every couple months they put everything they have almost %50 cheaper than the actual price. They got everything! except food =p At 8am i arrived there before they opened and there were 100 people waiting for the doors to open. At 9 sharp the doors opened and everyone was going craaaazy i have never seen anything like that it was like watching kids fighting to death over candy!! Anyway! I was helping anyone who bought something and wanted someone to wrap it up and take it to his car and move boxes from the warehouse to the shop and i was doing that NONSTOP for 10 HOURS!! then i had a 10minute brake and started again for another 2 hours so that was 12 hours of insane work!! I had only 4 hours of sleep last night and now my legs and back are in paaaain!! but i got 60euros from 1 day only so that's really good =p i mean yesterday i was home and made nothing and today only i made 60euros :la: Hell YEAH! :la:

I will be designing new icons soon btw..i don't know if they are gonna have a Christmas theme because i already made a Snow globe icon and the ChristMAC icons but it will be something different as always =D =D so be on the lookout! =D =D

DAILY DEVIATION!!!


Yesterday BurgerBunny gave me my first Daily Deviation!! OMG I got so excited and i got a huge smile and i was like.. WOHOOOOOOOO!!!! :la::la::la::la::la::la::la::la: I was waiting so long for this i cant believe i finally got a DD!

Thanks to everyone who faved it and everyone who commented and showed their support! =D =D Thank you so much!! It really means a lot to me. This shows i finally got much better since i started icon designing almost 2 years ago and that i finally got to the point to be consider and get a daily deviation.

I started designing icons a lot this last few weeks and last night i made another one so i will upload it later tonight =D I always try to find different ideas for icons instead of icons that have been made lots of times over and over again. Thats why i have that series of Vintage Icons that i made. I just wanted to make something different from everything else for once. So i finished my Popcorn Machine Icon that i actually started last year but i couldnt finish it because i didnt have the skills to make it the way i wanted. So now that i do i finished it and its exactly as i wanted it to be =D

CHECK IT OUT!

NEW ICON!
And Gallery Updated!


So i have been working on some vector icons in illustrator lately and its going really good! I finished my first icon vector set Social Web icons and i will be making more sets like that soon =D I got used to making complex icons in photoshop, that going back to illustrator felt so different.

I had this crazy idea to make a bluetooth icon last last year but i couldnt find a unique idea so..whats more unique for a bluetooth icon than an actual blue tooth?? So i said why not =D and i started it yesterday and after almost 3 hours it was finished =D I hope u like it!

I wanna try and sell some icon sets on fotolia.com or istockphoto.com and see how it goes. I saw a lot of icon sets on there and everything is on illustrator. So i guess i will give it a shot.

I updated my gallery OMG!!! There where icons sitting there since i joined Deviantart and most of them had horrible simple previews and stuff so i changed all that and gave a different background to match =D i also put my email address everywhere and in each zip file. Yeah well i had nothing better to do last night i guess xD

8 BALL UPDATED!! I updated the 8 Ball icon i made when i first joined deviantart! It was one my first ever icons made and it was so poor xD the old version was made when i was learning illustrator at first so i updated it with a new version made in photoshop and it looks much much better =D =D

Feels Good To Be Back!

BACK!
With a new icon!


I haven't been designing icons for these past few months because i was trying to find a job and make some money, plus it was summer and it was 47Celcious outside! So i couldn't lift my hand to draw with that much heat.

My birthday was about 2 weeks ago and i spent it with my girlfriend at a nice restaurant =D I am 19 now and i really need a car to move around so thats why i was trying to get a job or find a good job around here. I even sold some stuff on eBay just to make some money.

3 Days ago i was offered a small project by someone who emailed me. He really liked the iPhone 4 icon i made and he wanted me to add some stuff on it and edit it a little bid more so he can use it for his website. And i got payed of course lol. =p

I had this idea for many months now to make an Acordeon icon since nobody ever did it on deviantart or at least i haven't seen it anywhere and when i go downtown there are people playing the acordeon in restaurants so when i saw it i thought it would be great to make it as an icon and since i love vintage stuff and icons i did it and i really hope you like it. =D I will be designing new stuff more often from now on. =D
