Take Back the Night

Relationship violence and sexual assault are huge problems in our society (Please note both women and men are victims of these crimes). Besides painting, graphic design, and animals, bringing awareness to these issues is one of my passions in life.

I was asked by the Women's Center at Florida International University to design the flyer for their upcoming event "Take Back the Night." A movement that started in Brussels, Belgium and has spread all over the world, especially college campuses. Both women and men walk to "reclaim the night" when some of these horrific crimes occur. To learn more about it visit the official website here.

I am really pleased with the typography on this one. I also designed the one for last year's but back then they were going for a more "diverse," gender-inclusive idea.

Date Night

Just in time for my first wedding anniversary, I wanted to share this quick illustration inspired by the nickname I have for my husband: pollito (little chicken in Spanish). I stylized the little birds because I only wanted to use simple shapes and I imagined them going out on a romantic date. The bow tie was required for the occasion ( I really put it there because the day of my wedding was the only time I have seen my husband/boyfriend of 11 years wear one).
I really like the sky in this one...
