Café

Perhaps I drink a little too much coffee. It's really my only vice (well, that and the iPhone).

One of the many things I love about living in Miami is the infinite offering of Cuban coffee walk-up counters. I wonder if there is an official name for this caffeinated service, but you get the idea.

No need to walk into the restaurant or bakery, instead you can simply linger, informally outside, while you sip your colada or café con leche (my personal favorite, the colada is too hard-core for me).

I took this picture at the La Carreta counter on Bird and 87th Avenue. This particular location is one of the most thriving counters I have ever seen--you'll always see a mob of cops and bikers and everyone in between (like me).

All About Packaging

We thought it would be a good idea to show everyone how we do our packaging, here at Love Sugar Design:

1.) Each of our prints are wrapped in a protective polypropylene bag.	2.) Prints are then secured between two sheets of durable, cardboard padding.
3.) The print is then packed in a stay-flat mailer and sent to you, our dear customers.

Become a Fan

Finally! I just created a page for us on Facebook. I've been meaning to do so for a while now. It seems that these are the things you need to do to get traffic and get your work noticed. That's all fine with me, because it's just another creative outlet and it beats working in an office for 9 hours a day (sorry, Jimmy).

A New Year

The holidays are over and it's time for us to get to work. We've come up with a couple of new prints, so far, and our resolution is to work even harder at developing our studio and fine-tuning our creativity. We really love what we do here at Love Sugar Design.

Here's wishing all of you a wonderful year full of happiness, health and success.

Etsy Finds

Our good friend Oscar has a very cool shop on Etsy under the shop name "Sogeth", where he sells original sculptures, toys and illustrations.

It's good inspiration to have an extremely talented friend like him.
