In college one of my best friends’ favorite activities was having me translate phrases in Spanish for her… literally word by word. The literal translation sometimes differed a lot from the actual meaning, but it made for a hilarious phrase nonetheless! Fast forward a few years and What the Phrase is born- a lettering project that takes common idioms in Spanish and translates them into English, just for the laughs.
This series is also a side project and another way for me to practice lettering for digital platforms.
