It’s been almost two seasons without sharing new articles. Not that I had nothing to tell or show, in fact, I already had a backlog of ideas, written posts, some artwork and photo projects. For some reason, I didn’t consider anything quite finished or right for the moment. But I’m sharing some spring stuff anyway, because it’s the season of flowers and I live that deeply (and in the other hemisphere will be right on time!). However, you may have realised just by following along, that there are in fact […]

A bit of personal context Why I made this series of AI luggage There’s no industry as dreamy and exciting as the luggage and travel industry. And it’s pretty obvious these days. The most trendy and exciting thing to do is to travel. New generations are all in for experiences and aesthetics. And luggage brands are popping everywhere, where Away went first opening the way. The after-pandemic high may also has helped. What else would look good on an Instagram grid than nice outfits in stunning places? Yes, we love […]

We all want, need, to be surrounded by beauty. And even thought the beauty we create through everyday objects, architecture, fashion, and design is wonderful, we may also need the unique beauty of nature itself. There’s something fundamental about our connection to the natural world and how we feel in it. It’s not just about aesthetics – it’s about the way we thrive when surrounded by living things, clean air, and open skies. Every person should have the right to experience the Earth’s gifts in everyday life: the shade of […]

One year was all about crypto, this year is all about AI. And it makes sense, as it’s a technology that is growing exponentially and applicable across numerous sectors and job profiles. While some AI capabilities aren’t entirely new (Photoshop already did some functions that we can find now on the image AI tools, like expanding an image, and Lightroom already changed the skies in photos)we’re now experiencing an explosion of tools, capabilities, and services catering to diverse professional needs, such as in marketing roles, creativity, data, education, communication, etc. […]

And here we are once again, ready to celebrate Christmas! I’m especially happy this year because I’ve been able to fully enjoy the preparations and embrace the festive season with good spirits. As always, I’m a bit late in sharing my creative projects, and I’m worried I won’t finish all my festive ideas in time. But in the end, it’s the process that truly matters! Here are some of my creative projects and activities to inspire you to try your own, this holiday season or the next one ;). Hand-drawing […]

We’ve entered the Christmas mood season, so fall is almost a thing of the past—almost. And what a fall it was this year! Here in Tarragona, recent fall seasons have been mostly hot and sunny. This year, though, we had a good amount of rain. Unfortunately, that meant I couldn’t extend the beach season. Last year, I even swam in the sea on November 1st (and I don’t enjoy the cold!). This year, I can’t say exactly, but it must have ended several weeks earlier. A pity. On the bright […]

I’m still a dreamer. On a windy day like today, I still wonder about the subtle nature of our motivations, hopes and expectations, about our inspirations, desires, goals and (sometimes distracting) wants. How some of them will grow into reality and others will slowly slip into the realm of the unreal and forgotten… I’m still a dreamer. – Although I don’t remember my dreams so clearly anymore I still believe we can change the world. – Even if just by changing ourselves I still think we can make things that […]

Welcome to February! The month of love! (and Carnival and NYFW…) It must be the saddest month of the year when we look for so many ways to put some sparkle and glow into it! Even the sun has kept shining and we’ve had some (almost unusual) good weather, we all know that the end of January and beginning of February are a little hard. One month into the new year, how are you doing? Love is in the air I hope your love life is healthy because, if not, […]

I hope you’ve enjoyed a beautiful festive season and the start of 2024 is looking bright for you. You’ve probably seen loved ones, ate a bit too much, felt a bit guilty and started exercising… You may have been joyful, although maybe felt a bit sad as well: it was the end of a year, you may miss other times, some people, desires yet to fulfill… But Christmas is all about rejoicing on the riches we have, the luck we’ve experienced and the gratitude for all that’s lived. Plus, the […]

How many words can you think that start with S… and make you happy? Any excuse is good to get on a creative challenge. For this one, I wanted to draw an S… or two. Because I realized there are so many words starting with S that I enjoy… and they are pretty beachy too 😉 So I got to sketching, and writing. Here we go. Starting with S, good-looking (sounding) words Many of the following words are actually inspiring. And a staple in my vocabulary and mind. More generic, […]

The day came I had to try creating surf art with AI’s help. In my best life, and in this blog, you’ll notice I aim to focus on the beautiful life outdoors. However, I can’t deny I’m a bit of a geek and I like to be in the know of trends and new tech. And when I can get to try them, I must jump in, even if for a small dip. So I had to ride the new hype of AI technology, now that it’s still kind of […]

Winter is wonderful… Let’s set the scene. There are lights, lots of stuff, colors, crowds of people on the streets. Lots of messages inspiring and guiding us during our holiday shopping, for the presents and for the preparations of the festivities. It’s autumn, and it all started just after Halloween. I love the lively atmosphere, but in all honesty, I’m not looking forward to getting to the day when I get all the presents. Not at all. In fact, I wish Christmas came later. These times are great. With all […]

Welcome to my blog. This should be my first post. But it is not. This blog is quite old in fact. I’ve written (literally) hundreds of posts – just because I’ve been around for a long time*. Where does this come from I’ve been passionate about the great possibilities of the internet for as long as I can remember. I began making websites (and brands) for myself back when we had a Windows 98 at home. When you’d turn that machine on, it was like you were taking off on […]
