It makes me very happy to finally share the Día de Muertos collection I designed for @target — a celebration of the beautiful interconnectedness of life and death. 💀🌸💀🌼

Endless thanks to Michael, @ahoppusdraws , @leahrobot and the whole Target team for giving me total creative freedom and for bringing my very 2d drawings into beautiful 3d form. I will be posting more about all the different items that form this collection throughout the month.

People in the US can buy at Target stores or online. Link to online store is in my bio. Sadly, Target does not deliver outside of the US.

------
Me llena de felicidad compartir la colección de Dia de Muertos que diseñé junto con Target. Una celebración de la eterna conexión entre la vida y la muerte. 💀🌸💀🌼

Estaré compartiendo todos los artículos que forman parte de la colección a lo largo del mes.

Gente en Estados Unidos, pueden adquirir la colección en todas las tiendas Target o pueden hacerlo también en la tienda online (link en mi bio). Tristemente, Target no hace envíos fuera de los Estados Unidos.

I'm very happy to share that my Dia de Muertos Collection for @target was awarded a Silver Medal by the Society of Illustrators @soi128 in the Product and Surface Design category. An added joy was learning that two silver medals were given in this category--one to me, and the other to my dearest and talented friend Eugenia Mello @eumiel 💛

Thank you to @ahoppusdraws and Michael Kimmel for being the best collaborators and for bringing to life my illustrations!

Thank you to the @soi128, this year's chairs @marcoschinart @ellenweinsteinilloz and the jury for this recognition. It means the world.

Latinx Women Author-Illustrators in Conversation

Join us at Sur NYC next Wednesday November 12 for a vibrant evening with Cynthia Alonso, Cecilia Ruiz, Mariana Villanueva Segovia, and Eugenia Mello. This special gathering, part of our South Hemisphere series, brings together four Latinx author-illustrators for an open conversation on storytelling, identity, and the ways that cross-cultural experiences shape picture book narratives (both with words and images).

Each artist will present a glimpse into their work and process, followed by a panel discussion moderated by Eugenia Mello. We’ll touch on personal journeys, artistic process, and how images and stories can become reflections of belonging.

Night in Celebration of the Original Art Show at the Society of Illustrators, this is the perfect opportunity to join the community and reflect together on the power of illustrated storytelling and personal narratives.

Books will be available for purchase and signing.
