Jonathan Rodriguez x Pixel Cannibal

Costa Rican illustrator Jonathan Rodriguez has been futzing around with typography, hellbent on giving characters character through his site Pixel Cannibal. In the case of his Salomon Octopus snowboard, he makes optopus words. This year, in one of his editorial illustrations, he had the word “pollute” trail a female figure so that it appeared as if it were her dirty feet that had made the letters in the snow behind her. And in his Eat Me piece, Rodriguez created a sweet, Alice-in-Wonderland-inspired typeface surrounded with flowers that he juxtaposed with the image of a human skull. Totally inspiring stuff.
