Mario Hugo
Each new piece that I see from Mario Hugo is better than his last. Perhaps it is his unique grasp of what makes a composition beautiful, or the way he uses his incredible drawing ability to render incredibly intricate works of art. Most artists stray from typography in a rebellion of (literally) spelling out their idea to the viewer, but I love how Mario has embraced type and made it a central focus in his work.
Besides being a prolific editorial and graphic designer, Mario is also a partner at Hugo & Marie, which represents other Grain Edit favorites like Micah Lidberg, Deanne Cheuk and Mike Perry.

Great range of work. It reminds me of Jonathan Zwanda’s work as well as David Heasty and Stefanie Weigler from Triboro.
