OREGANOCLAY / LOGO DESIGN / REQUEST A PROJECT
I studied Film / TV production design. Also studied culture, music, languages, did sports and was active in all sorts of things from a to z; their best fruit was regret, without which I think it is impossible to evolve.
My previous job involved managing the art center. Village of arts, where I designed and provided content for its website, steered through cultures and cut wood. A year after that, I practiced drawing (I like watercolor and abstract pencilwork) I started playing with programs, particularly liking Adobe Illustrator for it's capabilities in logo editing. I like exploring on paper, searching for shapes and styles and digitizing the artwork. Logos attract me since they are concise and conceptual, involve grid and most importantly, images/letters (lettering) combination. I also love storyboarding, conceptualizing and boiling down around the essence, which doesn't leave me without a nod towards clean (Swiss) design. I guess I have an eclectic approach, because I think I appreciate all forms of try.
If you want to design a logo or a business card you can contact me through rezogo@gmail.com and we'll discuss your terms. You can also directly apply following this link.
OREGANOCLAY / BIO
Education and Work
I loved drawing and creating ever since my childhood. My search led me to where the graphic arts and visual culture explored the thickest plates of the social apprehension, history, poetry and literature, French cartoons and Russian Futurism, film and visual design. My search had ups and downs, helping me to establish the golden middle and today I'm happy with it.
Artist statement
If only save for analysis, I don't like to go into details of something already great to report the chemistry of its composition only to be referred to as a narrow field specialist. It makes you look bad in the light of good that you could embrace as a whole. What I really like to do is to inventorize the spheres and subjects that I can feel the pull and influence of at the moment, so as to locate my art in the space between the chosen spheres. I do so to control the way my work will be influenced by those spheres and will interact with them. The artist should be able to stop when he feels that he has hit upon something good. There is no point of going further and up close to the inner workings, like the scientist. Appreciating the beauty for what it is will get you much better chances of being seen as a "friend" of this beauty, or the subject that you adore. You can deconstruct an art strategy but it's not a good idea to deconstruct the beauty.
I think artists like to be understood. The best way, I believe is to make known start and end of your variable (subject) as well as your position on this scale. Three points (triangle), connecting to other three points to form a system.
I'm selling concept, not information or something with which to make the good times roll. I don't like the *stuff* that people are after. It's the substance for everyone's use, lying at surface that you will not be seeing me use.
