Herreros Art & Design

Branding yourself can be a difficult task to accomplish successfully but, my goal was to starts with my roots to showcase my brand. To start off I discovered the root of my last name, Herreros. My last name is comes from a Spanish word herrero, which means blacksmith. Growing up on a ranch I saw my father shoe our horses all the time and it made prefect sense to tie my brand back to the horses that I grew up around as well.

ESTE LADO DE MI SERIES

Divided by what seems to be different sides of the spectrum: commercial and fine art, I now wanted to integrate them by experimenting with the design of the image within the painting. Previously, my paintings were rendered naturalistically. Now the horses and self-portraits are geometric, breaking down the images into their simplest forms and translating my vision as a whole rather then to separate halves. 

HERREROS SERIES

It has taken me many years to come to terms with my identity. This past year I learned even more about myself through the origins of my last name. Herreros comes from the word herradero, which means horseshoer. This was an amazing discovery to me because not only have horses been a huge part of my life but they have always been a concentration in my work. After understanding the significance of my last name I wanted to express the essence of the herradero (horseshoer) through my eyes and how it translates through my work.

A LA CARRERA SERIES

As a child I grew up around horses. They were part of every day life for my family and I but not everyone understood the interest. I wanted to explore the power of the racehorse and bring into light the beauty of a sport of kings.

JRC & Sons BootMakers - August 2021

JRC & Sons Bootmakers was created to honor the founder of Cavender’s Boot City - James R. Cavender. He started the family business from a little western shop in Pittsburg, Texas, and has grown to over 95+ stores. Before his passing, they never had the chance to create his boot. Now, the spirit of their father lives on with every pair of boots.

Our first photoshoot to capture the essence of this new boot line with a tagline of "New Brand, Old Soul". With a mix of Western and modern shots, we shot at two locations: local ranch and Texican Court, which was the perfect location to feature this new line because of the western modern retro vibes of the hotel.
