Some colorful details spotted in Barcelona and Vilassar de Mar.

I think my favorite part of posts was how random people could look at my work... idk how to explain it but it always meant a lot to shout into the void and hear a shout back !! when I posted on tumblr and insta it would always be spam bots so really appreciate it w real people

I've updated Enfont Terrible –the glitchy and chaotic type foundry that lives inside your browser–, with three new text effects. Simply drag and drop a font file, and then adjust the sliders to generate a new typeface. https://enfont.javierarce.com

Back home for Christmas.

Entering my parents house be like:
«I’m angry for unknown reasons.»

This Summer we invited @seungmee_lee to collaborate with us on a template for our new sites product.

Lucky for us she said yes, and today we’re excited to share her template, Booklet! It’s a delightful portfolio template that feels like flipping through colored craft paper.

For reasons I'm not going to go into (you will read all about them in my diary), It's going to take me a bit longer to publish September's 'A drawing a day'. I'm a bit disconnected from the internet and sharing but I'll be back!

A building dressed in primary colours in Neukölln, Berlin.

Over the past few weeks I've been working on many interesting projects, including some design elements for a horror film festival coming up in the fall in Zaragoza, Spain. Here's a lil Leatherface I animated for the teaser post.

Last month I shot my first wedding and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Looking forward to doing more photoshoots like this one.

It finally happened: my @instagram account (javier) was hacked, even though I had two-factor authentication and used a custom email address specifically for it. If any of you know someone at @Instagram who could help, I'd be super grateful.

I’m really excited and proud of myself that the first version of my Digital Garden is finally finished and ready to be shared!

I'm looking forward to seeing how it gradually comes to life.
