I'm Going Bananas for My New Business Cards

Business Cards designed by Xhico

As you may know, I'm not only a foodie, but I'm also a artist, graphic designer, brand consultant and certified weirdo. While I was in Mexico City, I took some of my free time to design myself some new business cards. I started with drawing my banana illustrations at the coffee shop one day. I found out the neighborhood where to get printing done. With my thumb drive in hand I stepped out of the Chabacano Metro station into a neighborhood that is a graphic designer's delight. The smell of ink wafting out of print shops that lined the streets as I passed by looking at all of my options to choose a printer. They were everywhere. Blocks and blocks of off-set, digital, silkscreen, stamp-makers, paper cutters, swag marketing, sign making lined the streets. I remember walking by three woman hand assembling fancy marketing brochures and they were all having such a wonderful time at their jobs. I finally decided on a small booth to do my printing. They would only take a few days, I could get my satin finish and it would cost a mere $140 Mexican pesos.

Let me know what you think about my banana designs. Original banana drawings and soft-sculptures by me are now available online. Please check out my shop and buy a banana!

Divsadero Art Walk - Mini Bar Show Last Month

I recently took down the show from the Divisadero Art Walk at Mini Bar. I showed some silkscreen prints and giclee prints on canvas and paper. The pieces were illustrations from my Spirit Guide Series and from my World Culture Series. Favorites were the Moon Goddess, a girl with antlers by the moon light and the asian themed silkscreens, including the Geisha.

Thanks to everyone who attended opening night and checked out the art after. Thank you to everyone who bought pieces. I hope you enjoy them!

Special thanks to Sorell, Mark and Malik for all of their help getting my editions done!

Here are some more photos from opening night...
