Blanca Gómez

I first came across illustrator and designer Blanca Gómez when her work was featured on the cover of the inaugural issue of UPPERCASE Magazine. Then, again, more recently I featured her in a roundup of creative 2010 calendars. There is a child-like quality to her pieces, as well as an almost retro sensibility, that makes her style very timeless. I think to know of her work is to love it—the color, the characterization…the color!

Her Etsy shop is filled with goodies from her studio in Madrid, including screen-printed journals, buttons and pocket mirrors. And her blog, Cosas Minimas (“Small Things”), will keep you up to date on everything else she’s got going on.

Dear Blanca,

Please come immediately and live in my pants pocket.

Love, Matt
