The Quickie - Conversations with Designers

Episode 282 - Orlando "Mexifunk" Arocena - Vector Artist


Listen Later

This week's guest is Orlando Arocena, but you might know him as Mexifunk. He is a Mexican-Cuban-American Vector Artist. We met for the first time at Creative South, where we ended up recording this epic episode.

He has done work for some names you might recognize...Lionsgate, Warner Brothers, Disney, Marvel, Netflix, Adobe, MGM, Hulu. Plus he is an 11-time Clio award winner. 

You will find this episode to be loaded with stories. 

  • Rolling the dice with Adobe stories
  • Jack Nicholson stories
  • starting his commercial illustrator career stories
  • supporting fellow creatives' kinda stories
  • and dozens more...seriously.
  •  

    We get into the lessons learned in these situations, the tough times, the projects he's proud of, and all the other good stuff you know we get into on this show. 

    This might actually be the longest episode ever, to the point that the batteries on the audio recorder died mid-recording. But we both just wanted to keep chatting! You will love this one.
