People who know me very well will know this, I’ve always wanted to make kids television shows. As a result I tend to watch tons of kids shows, from Tellytubbies to Yo Gabba Gabba to Sesame Street all the way to those low budget ones where they wear tons of makeup and dance to songs for babies.

Strongly inspired by urban vinyl toys, alternative cartoons, and the pop surrealism movement, Alberto Cerriteño has developed his own very personal technique and style, having always present a delicate hints of traditional Mexican artistic influences in his management of rich textures and decorative patterns. These contrast strikingly with the blending of desaturated colors and ink, sometimes featuring a vintage coffee finish.

So it’s been a while since I posted on my blog, there are a number of reasons for this, but I think the most prominent one must be that I was too busy coding pure awesomeness!
Last year I started something where I listed my top 10 CD’s for 2008 and I thought I will be a cool exercise to do it again this year and just like last year let me just start by saying that the 10 CD’s in this list isn’t necessarily from 2009. Just because it was new to me doesn’t mean it was new to anyone else.
To get the ball rolling on the Vodacom FAME site, we decided to make a video and upload it to the site. I got a day for shooting and about another day for editing it down to something watchable.
All I can say is that the response is quite overwhelming. Over 3000 people have watched me shake my ass lol!
Some interesting statistics to put everything “online” a bit in perspective. Quite a few things I didn’t know and a new abbreviation B.G. (Before Google).. yay!
