    My "Suicide Squad" Experience

    It all started when Amanda Valdes and I were lucky enough to get the attention of the film’s PR team. It was a complete surprise to get that email! We’ve collaborated on murals in the past, so when they mentioned they wanted us to work together on a Suicide Squad-inspired mural, we started brainstorming right away. I knew, though it was hot in Miami and I was 6 months pregnant, that the piece was going to be perfect fit for us. Amanda and I dove right into the project full f

I enjoy working in various mediums such as charcoal, pastel, and paint. I want my work to inspire, encourage, and uplift others. Using

    Local Graphic Designer Creates The Wynwood Coloring Book for Adults

    Diego Orlandini sits in the corner of a white leather couch in the center of the HGAB magazine headquarters in Wynwood. He leans back and crosses his legs. Beneath his left hand lies a mockup of a black-and-white book with what appear to be doodles on the cover. Thick yellow bubble text reads, “The Wynwood Coloring Book.” That’s right — Orlandini has created a coloring book for adults by taking the murals that adorn the streets of Miami’s arts district and turning them into c

    New Beauty Line Developed in Miami Wants to Make Your Hair Smell Delicious with Hairgurt

    Murals pop up on the walls throughout Wynwood all the time — especially in December. Two months ago, artist Diana “Didi” Contreras revamped the wall outside of the O. Ascanio Gallery on NW Second Avenue with an image of her typical doe-eyed girl swimming in a sea of yogurt, bananas, strawberries, coconuts, and acai. That sea represents Hairgurt, a product that is made by a company headquartered in Doral and manufactured in Cutler Bay. It was was developed by Alcora Group, the

Boasting 18 murals created during the past four years, it’s expanding with no end date. A backdrop for countless selfies, all the mura

I follow several artists on Instagram and decided that I would have to find this small parcel of land to explore today.
