One from the archive, ‘The Magic of Mr Masking, Costa Rica’s King of Tape ', profiling the late Gerardo Picado and his very personal approach to sign lettering.

put some washi tape on our DAP (inspired by @mynotaurus (sorry i'm too lazy to look up the post, she did a better job than be because i can't use scissors))

not sure how much i like this, i thought it was gonna look differently (mostly because i thought i could get the other diagonal with the tape on the sides somehow)

A great way to work more intuitively with collage is to pick one colour and find different pieces of paper, cards, stamps and tapes to cover the page.

This is my first yellow page 💛

Before my friend left, we also discussed colour. The current tape system was done with garden-variety green #MaskingTape.

We didn't want to risk supergluing anything just in case the elder still couldn't (or just as bad, *wouldn't*) use the modified phone.

Thankfully I've got a small selection of #Mavalus tape from #EducationStation, including green.

In all the ways that can be taken in and out of context 😝🤪😂

The way he works—painting the negative space, or 'cutting in'—is reminiscent of Costa Rica's Mr Masking (RIP) and his use of masking tape.

The Magic of Mr Masking, Costa Rica's King of Tape

The typographic vernacular of Gerardo Picado's masked and painted letters in San José, Costa Rica.

(Boost for reach.)

If anyone know of a method they swear by to keep glasses from falling off your face, I'm all ears. (Pun intended.)

When I was working on my furniture, I was sweating so hard that my glasses kept wanting to fall forward.

I decided to put making tape on the parts that go behind the ear and that did the trick. It is, however, hideous.

So if you know of a cuter method, please tell me.

I can shop, but I get the feeling that some devices being sold might not be great.

Thanks!
