I found a lettering artist on Insta, a place I don't usually go. It got me to thinking (again) about the relationship between lettering, calligraphy, and graffiti. It's an almost interchangeable venn diagram.

Anyway this person's work is gorgeous. https://www.instagram.com/botutype

This collection of hand-painted panels by was produced while filming the short biopic by Santiago Carrasquilla and Danaé Gosset. I enjoyed learning some new Spanish words, including my favourite, chupatintas (penpushers).
