A few months ago we were asked to participate in a visual and sincere tribute to an unique, and not enough recognised, spanish singer and artist: Tino Casal.
Oro Negro: 25 años sin Tino Casal, is a gold ingot in the form of a book-object. Almost 300 pages in black and fluorescent magenta, with more than 70 illustrators and designers, and articles by a good number of writers, journalists, music producers and musicians.
We have had the opportunity to collaborate illustrating a song, and being part of this painstaking homage, which at the same time is a catalogue of the current spanish graphic scene.
An original idea by Joe Van Houten, Pixelbox, and Juan Diaz-Faes.
