The first word I learned to say is guaita. My paternal grandmother would take me for a walk in the trolley, and as we wandered around she would point at things with her finger and say: “Guaita Laia, guaita!”. She spoke a particular Catalan, she would say guaita instead of mira (look at). Guaitar means to watch carefully, analysing what is observed. Vigilant. Jo guaito 👀️

MAN BEHIND A CAMERA




PROJECT

PlayGround


2019

︎



A Christmas present for the man behind ‘Man Behind A Camera’. We did a video of his ASMR collection published on PlayGround that got viral. I made these illustrations for t-shirts that were send to him to celebrate the success. Some elements were iconic in his videos –food, candies, the blue cap he would wear– and he repeated key expressions included in the designs.

Elisa Guerrero helped me draw the face and Stephen Lyne took this photograph.
