Lisa Papineau Logo

Lettering by Xhico

I'm directing the first video from Lisa Papineau's forthcoming album, "Red Trees". The video is for the single, "White Leather Pants". Until the video is done, here is some tasty typography - a logotype I did for Lisa.

Inner Sunset Farmers' Market Logo Final

Thanks for all the love for the new logo for the Inner Sunset Farmers' Market. The response has been great! They revealed the logo yesterday at the market... They gave me a shout out (even though my name was misspelled).

Don't forget... Buy Local. Buy Seasonal. Buy Organic.

Inner Sunset Farmers' Market Logo Winner!

Everyone knows I love to go to the Farmers' Market every week for my produce and much more (especially after seeing Food, Inc. last night). I also am a firm believer of being involved in the community and giving back the best way you can.

I recently entered a logo contest for local Inner Sunset Farmers' Market, which I frequent on Sunday mornings. Several people entered, including this very cool post-modern logo by a young kid. I was afraid, it would win... They put the logos out together at the market for a couple weeks and let the public vote.

I'm happy to say, I just found out my logo was the winner! Thanks for everyone who voted for me!

Gigspot Logo Explained

This is my symbol for Gigspot. Some people call it a logo, but I prefer looking at it as my "chop". It has been my mark for over a decade. I have this symbol tattooed on my left forearm. I am always asked about my mark. So here is the story.

For several years, the deer was my spirit guide. Thus, the deer head. The antlers grow from the head to form the letter "G". The "G" is for "Gigspot" as well as my last name, "Garcia". The structure of the "G" is modeled after a labyrinth. The story here is about finding my way into my head. Or out of it.

Miso Mural

I'm working on a new website for one of my favorite clients, Miso Fly. They're a groovy boutique in the I.E. in Southern Cali. They have two boutiques with great clothes for guys, girls and kids too. I'll let you know when the site is live... until then check out this mural I did at their Downtown Redlands shop.

I painted this mural on their store front of the logo I designed for them. My friend, Carlos, and I did it one morning. We used some stencil techniques to create the little flying logos.

Miso Fly, First Anniversary Party

The Miso Fly Boutique held it's first year anniversary party this weekend. It was an amazing night. The room was like a piece of heaven. Covered from floor to ceiling in white fabric, bathed in soft blue light. The highlight for me was seeing the logo I designed for them, etched into the martini bar, made of ice. It was exquisite.

This set the scene for the fashion show, which exhibited the clothes from the Miso Fly boutique and some beautiful human specimens modeling the attire. Hair was done by Jessie Townley of Hairajuku Salon. The party was filled with patrons, dancing and noshing on delicious treats from savory meats, ice chilled sushi and wonderful deserts (which i was fortunate enough to be seated closely to). The event was hosted by owner, Tracy Kang.
