Hostos Illustration students shined as they presented their posters for Ariel Surun, owner of Mercado .inc — NYC’s only inline skate shop.

“The kids really blew it out of the water,” Ariel shared. A Bronx kid himself, Ariel proved the perfect client for Professor Catherine Lewis’ DD114 Digital Illustration final project with his clear brand vision and deep roots in the inline skating community.

A million thanks to Ariel for sharing his time, enthusiasm and brand with our Hostos Digital Design and Animation majors! What a way to close out 2025!
