- for La M.O.D.A.
Art direction and design for ‘N.C.B.’ (‘Nuevo Cancionero Burgalés), the new release by la M.O.D.A. , an album that arises after the discovery of two songbooks from the last century, written by Federico Olmeda (1903) and Antonio José (1932), which compile popular folklore songs from Burgos. The title is a tribute to these books.
Speaking about universal and timeless feelings and situations, and despite their antiquity, the lyrics of N.C.B. make a cornerstone between the voices of several generations. A very special work that gets closer to the band’s roots and ancestors.

- for Serialmes
Established in Madrid as a collaborative design project, Serialmes does monthly apparel collabs with national graphic designers. For September’s 2020 debut issue, JH was invited to design a screen printed t–shirt based out a concept of own choice.
“Amor Fati” references a stoic concept, later present in Nietzsche and Albert Camus works, that dictates embracing fate as something positive long–term, even when it comes to suffering or adversity. An extremely avant–garde philosophical approach specially during current times.
