What did you see on your most recent commute? How did it inspire you?
Gaby Contreras answers those questions on a daily basis.
Gaby creates patterns, illustrations and silkscreens, based on what she sees on her way to work. Her designs are available as zip pouches, zines and more through her small business, Gaby & Co. And she’s looking forward to exhibiting more of her work at L.A. Zine Fest, coming up next weekend!
At the Designers’ Showcase in the Craft and Hobby Association’s recent Winter Trade Show, Gaby talked about her background, her creative process and future plans–and offered a daily artists’ exercise!
L.A. Zine Fest happens Sunday, February 16th, from 10 am to 5 pm, at Helms Bakery, 8703 Washington Boulevard at Helms Avenue, in Culver City.
