The souvenir museum Verdes y Colores located in Alajuela, Costa Rica, contacted me to develop a series of illustrations about costarican folklore in a different, creative way.
I made four illustrations based on Costarican masquerades, shaved ice carts "copos", hummingbirds, and a free topic focused on happiness and fruit.
Personally, I love the idea of having the influences of my beloved country present in my work as an artist / designer. This was a huge oportunity I wasn't going to miss.
The illustrations are a colletion of t - shirts called "Hola, Costa Rica". The name humanizes the country, greeting the audience and presenting, with a different face, some of its most popular traditions.
Go visit Verdes y Colores on the way to Poás volcano and check out their great offer and what they're doing for Costa Rica:
