artafacta: quierómetro

This month’s word from Artafacta was “quierómetro.” One never really knows the true meaning, but that is half the fun. Do you think my wintertime cabin fever is showing a bit? If you’d like to see what the other artists came up with, click here.

artafacta: ocultura

“O” already? Ocultura, this month’s Spanish word mash-up from Artafacta, could be my favorite yet in terms of possible imagery. Maybe it's my devilish nature, or maybe it's just the wacky way it “translates” to English, but this one was a lot of fun. “O” also stands for opera, which makes me think: one man's cult is another man's high art. Oprah, anyone?

artafacta: nicotinta

We're up to the letter "N" with this month’s Spanish word mash up: “nicotinta.” (And you know how I feel about smoking.) You can see the entire fanzine and interpretations by other artists at the artafacta website. A few of my favorites are by Joan Negrescolor, Milan Rubino, Oscar Ángel Rey, and especially Pep Boatella. Simply gorgeous!
