Tamales Tlacuache
When I was asked to design a logo for an East Austin-based vegan tamal company, I leapt for a piece of linoleum and my carving tool — that is, after I asked my client to spend about 20 minutes teaching me how to pronounce tlacuache, which means “opossum” in Nahuatl.
The company never quite lifted off the ground, but I had a ton of fun drawing, carving, printing, tweaking, and rearranging ideas for the brand.
