Some phrases never leave you.

The way a mom says "ya casi llego." The saying an abuela keeps ready for every occasion. The small, perfectly timed thing that needs no explaining, and falls apart the second you try to translate it.

I grew up in Spanish, and I've noticed that the little things (the sayings, the phrases, the words that only work in one language) are the ones that stay with you, and the ones you miss. Dilo Pues is where I keep them.

Every piece starts with a phrase you know by heart and ends with a drawing that gives it a world: a small scene, a character, a detail you only catch on the second look.

I don't make these to represent anyone or to prove anything. I make them because some days you'd like a small piece of home to wear.

So go on. Dilo pues.
