I was doing my standard spying for this post and I happened to stumble upon Alberto Cerriteño’s Facebook profile, what was my surprise?! We have friends in common! Eight!! Well actually 5 individuals plus 3 brands (We have two degrees of separation!! Great! And... yes, I have no life). Anyway, I thought that was an interesting note*.
Amazing intro no? No wonder I have talented friends.
Well, I guess I could defend myself by saying this: Alberto Cerriteño needs no great intro; his work can make up for any and all lousy openings, central points, conclusions and epilogues. I have been in love with his work for quite a while now; amazed by the texture he adds to all his pieces and ultra fascinated by his layered paper prints (I really don’t know how to call them, but --> here is an example).
Another thing that I love from what he does is that all of his characters are happy; he is not a depressed designer with melancholic visions. He does joyful images that are filled with colors and movement, I love them (I am sure you will love them as well):

The Enamored Snail* Oh my! Hahaha I just spied a little more down on his Facebook page and saw that he has about 5000 friends, so I was thinking of delete my intro because it lost all meaning, but I didn’t because, well… I don’t want to... Sorry, today I am having a weird day, let’s just make the best with what we have.
