I was commissioned by a new boutique hotel here in Panama, the Magnolia Inn, to create a series of illustrated simulations of how the hotel would look and feel after all renovation would be finished.
This was a wonderful project to work on, since the building was, itself, very inspiring. To add to this, the renovation ideas were not only very good, but were transmitted in such a passionate way, that creating these illustrations was just a pleasure.
You can see them in context here.
I´m designing a set of postcards for abbrigate* to convey the message that our garments are so durable and resistant that they´ll be in perfect shape to be given to someone else even after your baby has overused them and eventually outgrown them. I wrote about it here, in abbrigate*´s blog.
Talking about the illustration, though, I had so much fun coming up with the concept: I thought about “forwarding” and “pass it forward”, and then I needed an image to illustrate it. I remembered then how much I loved Henri Matisse´s representations of dancers holding hands and how using his idea and composition would be a homage paid to one of the artists I admire the most. Thinking about this painting, La Danse, I imagine huge amounts of good energy flowing through the dancers´ arms and hands into one another.
I believe that Baby Kimonos, Baby Vestmonos and Leafy Vests may flow too: when your kid has outgrown a garment, pass it forward to the next kid. Environmentally safe and financially sound!
These are some shots of the posters designed for this year´s Belém Trancão, um corredor verde para Lisboa. It is organized by GEOTA and consists on a bicycle ride by the Tejo and its aim is to raise awareness so that the city´s developing plan converts this route into a “green corridor”.
A poster (two formats), a flyer, a T-shirt (and some other stuff) were designed for this year´s event. Take a look at the pictures below (Photos taken by Pedro, thanks!).
