Domestika Diary: Pepita Sandwich

Take a tour with Pepita Sandwich of her life in her new home, New York

Pepita Sandwich is an illustrator known for her vibrant style full of color, movement, and personality. She has collaborated with international brands such as Adidas, Spotify, and Cartoon Network and even published two books.

In this Domestika Diary, she takes us around her new home, New York, showing us where she finds inspiration and art supplies.

It’s never easy moving to a new city and a pandemic only makes that more complicated. However, Pepita Sandwich and her partner have managed to create a home where the two can create.

In the same room her partner drums in, Pepita creates the lively illustrations that have made her name (hopefully, not at the same time). She shows us her space and her process as she creates a season’s greetings card for her clients and colleagues, a smart move to keep her name in their minds for future projects.

Once she has finished drawing, she takes us into town, starting with the art store. Like many artists, there are few things she finds more satisfying than browsing the supplies.

Finally, we hit the sites. New York is an iconic place at this time of year and, although Pepita has found challenges along the way, the Christmas lights that light the streets are the perfect end to our journey through a day in her life.
