Today was the last day learning from @betterletters at @colossalmedia. @mikemeyersignpainter and @Pascal e_arpin made my letters sharper and my lunch hours a blast! I may have eaten more donuts than ever, but it was worth it. Give a close look to these letters and if you find a Prince symbol, blame it on Mike. . . . . . #signpainting #enamelsigns #lettering #handlettering #typography #customlettering #letters #alwayshandpainted

Más Cariñito. Borrowed from traditional table cloths in Fondas, this is the illustration I did to wrap the covers of the menu of this truly Mexican restaurant. Link to the full project on my profile, or buy the book Illustrative Branding from @victionworkshop or Bon Apettit from @sendpoints and see this and many other projects specialized in #branding for #restaurants. . . . . . . . #brandingdesign #illustrativebranding #illustration #illustrative #floralillustration #packagingoftheworld #mexicanrestaurant #design #graphicdesign #flowers #mexican #mexico #diseñomexico #kitsch #kitschkitchen

I just realized El Cariñito has never been shared here on Instagram, perhaps because back in 2013 IG wasn’t the thing that it is now. This project has been the main plate of my portfolio for a while and the reason most of my #restaurantbranding work exists. Please swipe and see the original (very rough) sketch, the main reference, the graphic language behind it, two interesting rip offs and the subtle difference between being inspired by, remixing and stealing something. . . . . .

Just found this monogram I did for my mother’s wedding. 9 years since then and there’s nothing I’d change. Client was a pain - jk #monogram #typography #type #letters #wedding #typespire #logotype #logo #weddinginvitations
Drawings From 2012. - Just found these pen-drawings, and I had an smile in the mind remembering myself drawing late at nights obsessed with analogies and surrealism, with patience for detail and very excited to show everyone my work at a small local exhibition where I sold these guys for around $60. It actually wasn’t that bad ✍️ #younger #drawings #pendrawings #sketches #moleskine #moleskineart #surrealism #moleskinsketches

WIP shot from a personal project I’m doing just and only about numbers. I find so fascinating how just 10 digits can say so much in their combinations across many platforms and structures, breaking barriers of language in most of the cases, and I’ve been designing about it. . . . . #typography #typographic #numbers #numbersdesign #type #typespire @typespire @typographicsnyc @typism #tipografia #design #graphicdesign #graphiclanguage
Such an honor to be included in this book along the work of many many many other #typographers and #designers.

@graciasadiosagavegin monograms inspired by award certificate medals in old packaging. I’ve always asked myself if those medals are real or not... I imagine that in 100 years from now someone will find this bottle and ask the same.
