Multi-media artwork of national and international artist is on display at Gallery 200/Studio in West Chicago, IL. 60185. Roberto Balderas' illustration entitled "En Boca Cerrada" (In a shut mouth) is featured as part of the display.
Political poster for the Illinois' Green Party. A Green City Series.
This typographic poster was a simple design exercise. I spend quite some hours designing the type and working on the layout. I really like the way the type aligns and the nice explosion of colors.
Although it's winter in Chicago, Xmas was such a beautiful, sunny day. I was able to snap these cool shoots at the Edgewater beach.
Calligraphy has enable me to be more aware of the individual letter's structures. I pay more attention to terminals, strokes, counters, bowls, serifs, etc. While I'm not really good at it, I encourage everybody to give it a try. Specially graphic and type designers.
Whether it's photography, sculpture, mixed media, installations, printmaking, digital art, drawing, paintings, whatever you may think, it can be found in Pilsen. This is truly a vibrant neighborhood with a vast community of visual artist, of course, the best Mexican food too!
