Sport 1 -German tv channel- bought the rights of Pokermania's application. I helped in their ad campaign by creating several avatars based on the German handball player Stefan Kretzschmar, speaker and brand embassor of Sport 1 Poker.
Schullauf
This is the kind of job any illustrator would love to do. Designing for kids is as easy and natural for me as breathing. This project had no restrictions, just a short brief, a couple of revisions and lots of freedom, the result... a 100% fun character.
POG
The POG characters were part of an integrated campaign launched to re-introduce the popular kid's game on early 90's for a North American and French audience. I worked for Funrise as an art director for a whole year, producing really cool stuff.
Doctor Dreadful
New corporative image for Doctor Dreadful, a game where kids can build their own laboratory and drink and eat everything they make!. My work consisted on refreshing the character image without losing its characteristic features.
Peerfly
PeerflyCoolest client ever: a reasonable budget and deadline and a really cool concept. I already designed 3 T-shirts for them, my dreamed project.
UC San Diego Athletics
Vectorial Mascot design for athletics division at California University. The challenge was designing a good-looking mascot using only 3 colors - with different percentages - for affordable printing on a wide range of formats: T-shirts, stationary, billboards... Clean and crisp!

Mafia Death
S3 StudiosMafia Death. This is one of the designs that brought more acknowledgement to SOSFactory, not only because of the quality of the illustration and the extended use of this MMORPG, but because of the massive spreading of the studio cases I wrote for PSDTuts. The best way to appreciate a wonderful client.
Big Bear Food Mart
Big Bear Food MartBig Bear is a convenience store franchise with 55 locations in Canada. I was hired to redesign their outdated 20 years old mascot and logo design. Even though we got a very good quality in the character vectorial design, the logo came out too conventional in my opinion.
Hiyo Avatars

Linerider 2
Linerider is a game created by Boštjan Cadež, a Slovenian university student, and it became an instant success. I was hired to create Linerider's characters, if you still don't know them, ask any child. They certainly know Linerider and they love it for sure.
Professa Grafix
Another pair of funny characters, designs made for Professa Graphix, design and Print Lab. This project was quite challenging because the illustrations were going to be printed on really big formats, so I had to keep my standard quality but this time using just vectors. You can see a video of the making of in the SOSFactory Youtube Channel.
Drunken Monkey
Drunken Monkey CollectiblesAfter some years of freelance work this is still one of my prefered mascot designs. Smashing Magazine hired my to write a tutorial about this character and logo design. It became an instant classic that brought quite lot of exposure to my client.
Sand Slides Deluxe
This is by far one of my best mascot design integrations, the character stands by itself but it may be as well the key element of the logotype. So we have a strong imaginery, but also flexibility to use the logotype in different applications and formats.
Cheeky Monkey
I loved working with the guys of Cheeky Monkey Media, they had a clear idea in their minds but they also gave me lots of freedom. The design went so smooth that only a few iterations were needed to get an eyecatching vectorial mascot design that transmits just the right message.
