I started this year very happy and sheltered by this job, I sure will bring good fortune. This is the Algarabía 2015 agenda for which I had the pleasure of making a collection of 12 illustrations to welcome each of the months of the year.
It's a great pleasure to serve one more year as part of products very cared and as well crafted as Algarabía and its derivatives, but this particular agenda is one of my proudest.
The agenda is full of typical details from traditional content of Algarabía, as useless data Dr. Carrington, extracts Chingonario, Frasezotas, Horoscopes Chingones, sayings and lots of stuff anymore. If you are interested in acquiring one this the perfect time; I have seen in Sanborns and Gandhi stores, but perhaps you can purchase it online through Algarabía Shop: http://algarabiashoppe.com/
I close the post thanking the space with the coolest month illustration of the year: April (my birthday, obviously) and the accompanying text to explain the origin:
"¿De dónde viene… abril?
Viene del latín Aprilis. Su origen etimológicamente es algo incierto, pero se cree que quizá sea aprerire, ‘abrir’, haciendo alusión a la vegetación que florece. Se piensa que puede venir de Afrodita, la diosa griega del amor –Venus en la tradición romana– , o de un dios que pudo haberse llamado Aper o Aprus."
