tiny store post undergrad side project 2024

location: anywhere anyplace anytime

this project fantasizes a playful pop up installation inspired by my personal art, TINY YELLOWS.

it follows my past year navigating a small art brand, both online and inperson. now you may be asking (or not)...why not document your journey solely through photographs? good question. i don’t know.

i’m just kidding. the choice to craft a miniature world revolving around all things tiny and all things yellow came from my own enjoyment of experimenting with new modes of storytelling.

in other words, this miniature visual compilation allows for me to curate and showcase my artistic endeavors how i want the viewer to experience it. the following drawings exaggerate concepts of brand identity along with my newfound relationship to my local art market and pop-up shop community.

tiny yellows...what a funny name

when you’re a kid, the smallest things fascinate you. for me, it was the neighborhood paletero, or ice cream man and his classic makeshift cooler on wheels, an image reminiscent across mexicanamerican childhood memories. the diy aspect of it all lives in the back of my head, becoming my first memory of a shop on wheels.
