Que Rico

The truth is I’m kinda in love with this poster I got to make recently.

For one thing, the client is the lovely Adaliz De Sedas, whose food is so inventive and fresh and delicious you experience eating in a whole new way.

A recently meal we shared: carrot salad with a vinaigrette made from papaya seeds, cashews and homemade pineapple vinegar  /  soba noodle pasta with shitaki mushrooms, pineapple, mustard leaves, and homemade coconut milk curry  /  and for desert: homemade avocado ice cream!

Have you ever heard a menu like this?!  Are you not salivating? And did you notice the theme: homemade! Adaliz and her husband, Klaus, are what I’d call the real deal — sincere, compassionate, hard-working people who live their values with a sustainable, home-grown, home-made lifestyle. Klaus is a bamboo genius and recently completed a BOAT made from bamboo. A BOAT THAT SLEEPS SIX. That he MADE. WITH HIS HANDS. Yeah, think about that next time you’re sitting around bored!

Anyhow, here’s the poster:

Thanks to the PSD Dude for his tutorial on how to make text look chalky. The pretty font is called Alice. It’s available for free from Google Web Fonts.

The Year Photoshop Saved Christmas!

The budget has been stretched to the max by our recent international move, so I thought it’d be economical (and enjoyable) to whip up gifts for the in-laws via some photoshoppery. (The original photos were taken at L’s dad’s birthday party by his cousin Jennifer.)

Printed these babies as 5x7s on matte photo paper for about 25 cents each at the local Farmacia Arrocha. Added big white mats and a distressed gold frame. I dare say, pretty classy for a “homemade” gift.

Even decided to push my luck and make gifts for L’s sisters. Here’s C’s son and V’s beloved yorkie.
