LA Times commissioned me to produce a series of Latinx-inspired illustrations for the February issue of The Latinx Files: The Valentine’s Day Love Song Dedication Show.
I proposed a series of animated gifs dedicated to self-love – a different take on Valentines Day inspired by text threads with my Tias.
Tia’s Text Thread is an ode to the tias and moms who choose to express themselves through animated GIFs. It aims to breathe new life into the art of “gif-ting,” or the act of sending motivational GIFs to your friends and family. This world needs more love. Why not say it with a GIF?
For all the Mijas,
for the homies,
and for just about anyone.
