Sr. Reny
Sr. Reny is the name of the creative studio used by the Spanish illustrator and designer Javier Ramíez, (Vigo,1987). When he was little, he got to know urban culture and began to express himself through graffiti. Inspired by this culture he decided to study illustration and graphic design. Later on, he developed his activity in advertising agencies and the textile sector until he decided to change his direction and focus on what he always wanted, illustration. Today he works for many brands in advertising campaigns, packaging, editorial publications and many different projects reflecting their ideas.
Just the thing to get young wordsmiths picking up their frindles—or whatever they might want to call their pens.
— Kirkus Reviews
Children will be drawn to the bright, graphic images, and the objects made of words offer plenty of opportunities to identify language. A fun concept, effectively done, this will likely appeal to educators and parents alike.
