Glimpse of Cuba

Glimpse of Cuba image

This is a Deign I came up with inspired by Cuban imagery. I’m a huge fan of the Cuban American Culture, Cuban food and drinks... such as the Mojito. This is just a glimpse of Cuba. This design was hand drawn and colored in Photoshop and Illustrator.

    I like the design, however, I wouldn’t rock communist propaganda.

    Thanks for the comments guys! Especially coming from such esteemed emptee designers! I love you guys work as well! Just want to point out that I’m not advocating or supporting communism. Its more of a glimpse of Cuban history. If I were to weigh in on a particular side, it would be more with the Cuban refugees. I’m trying to design something with no bias in mind. I just think its compelling imagery. Thanks again!

    I can understand you trying to design something with no bias in mind. However, if someone wore this in an area with lots of Cuban exiles such as Miami, you would probably be assaulted.

    It looks like your supporting Fidel Castro, the revolution, and the decades of communist tyranny that has controlled the island.

    Either way, I like your work, just wouldn’t wear it.

    I really like the style man - regardless of the political references - there’s some really nice elements and textures going on.

    +100

    this comes off as glorifying a communist dictator who has oppressed and tortured thousands of people. no thanks.
