Cafe is a website that I, Cristhian F. Serur created with the objective
of showing my works, and drawings, and also to serve as a good resource
for all the new design
and media techniques out
there, with tutorials, and many useful links. It is a constantly changing
process, and the help of anyone is always welcome. My main purpose is
to make this site a reference for both artists and designers in the
future, with news, interviews and so on. For now, let's focus on myself.
I'm a web designer, much like a freelancer, and an amateur artist, I
work mainly with mechanical pencils and shadow works. I'm from Buenos
Aires, Argentina, that's in South America, for the outsiders ;-)
I
began some years ago to design for the web and to try new technologies
with various programs, the main of them, Photoshop, my primary and most
powerful design weapon ;o) As for the drawing, I draw practically since
I was born, I dunno how, but
at the age of five just grabbed a pencil and started drawing, I think
that the drawing is something that is not learnt, but instead you carry
it within your blood, and just awakens when it's the right time. Since
almost a year, I entered and became member of Elfwood, an online community
for amateur artists, there I normally put my drawings and anything that
results of dabbling in the computer ^_^
As
for the other part of the facts, normally here I do work in internet
companies, most of the time as a help desk technician, but in the meantime
I do freelance works with web design. I know
I'm not a skilled one, so I decided here to include a tutorial section
on most topics of graphics and web design, also I will include traditional
arts, because the best professor out there is the net, the things I
know today I learned them from the net. It is the most valuable resource
out there. And, for the title of this site, I tried to mix two of my
passions, the computer graphics and the coffee, I do love coffee in
any kind of form, some time ago, my callsign was Hudson_Hawk,
because I loved (and still do) the capuccino coffe ^_^ Nowadays you
can find me out there as Lost Angel, my last and most enigmatic
callsign both on Elfwood and ICQ ;o)
Anyway,
hope you enjoy this site and its contents, and feel free to email me,
or sign the guestbook with your ideas, because the ideas are the forces
behind the creativity that leads to sucess. I want to make this site
as a resource and useful utility, so a thing like
that is better made by many. So, grab yourself a cappuccino matey' or,
you can also learn to prepare the famous Irish Coffee in the
links section too ;o) hope you like the site, and thanks for visiting.
