Custom Adidas Stan Smith

I know it's been ages since I've updated my portfolio with new work but that only means one thing: big updates soon! I'd hate to add new stuff on my current portfolio, since I've got a shiny new one coming online!
But I just couldn't resist posting some pictures of those Adidas shoes I've been asked to work on:

EΒΓΕ 2010 Design & Illustration Αwards

I am excited to participate in the illustrators jury for the EΒΓΕ 2010 design and illustration Annual Awards. The EΒΓΕ Awards are held annually to highlight the best design and illustration work of Greek designers and illustrators in the previous year.
We just received this year's EΒΓΕ information booklet and I just love the dog illustrations in it, created by MnP.
Entry deadline for the 2010 awards is on the 5th of February so hurry if you wish to participate!

Athens Digital week 2009 – Character synthesis exhibition update!

Character synthesis exhibition was fun! We managed to take some pictures, but I must admit I need to practice more with our camera. Really. I must learn what all those buttons do.

These are my characters :)

Custom 4 inch munny

This little pink piece of vinyl has gone through so many paint experiments & acid tortures, it's so lucky to still be alive :)
Although I love vinyl toys, customs especially , I've always been too busy and haven't had a chance to paint one myself! So, this one is my first custom, a 4 inch mini munny portrait of my fashion-photographer-brother, as requested 0___0
It was so much fun working on this little guy, I plan to make some more.

Design Warriors exhibition

I've been invited by The Butter factory, a club space in Singapore, to take part in the Design warriors project, an exhibition of contemporary characters and art, curated by Phunk studio and the Butter Factory. They especially loved to have Fifico the rocking Oriole with them and if you look closely, you can see him partying in some pictures of the opening party :)

I managed to find him here:

Bios - Design Walk

Bios featured the work of various Greek designers & artists during the Design Walk event in Athens. I was very happy to take part . Unfortunately, we weren't able to take any decent pictures but it was a really fun weekend and we had the chance to meet lots of great people :P



And a bad quality video (this is NOT my hand :D ):

We have moved into a new office :)

Well, that explains the lack of updates! More updates really soon!
