ARTOGRAPHY

It could be easy to mistake the profession of completely unpretentious and self-effacing Arnel Tolentino. The UPS guy thinks Im a mechanic, he says proudly. Neighbors probably do too since hes so often found hunched over the guts of his 1966 red convertible Mustang rebuilding the engine.

But apart from his handiwork under the hood, his other notable work can be found in mega-retail chains like Macys, Target, Linens n Things, and Bed Bath & Beyond. A walk through the household product sections of these stores will yield a complete range of Tolentinos packaging, from outdoor grills and potholders to glassware and orange presses.
