My current approach to illustration is a heartfelt expression of bringing joy through the playful patterns and intricate shapes that fill my daily life. I take great care in choosing the materials and techniques that best capture the essence of my vision. I often find myself drawn to printmaking and ink, as they allow me to convey the depth and focus I strive for in my final pieces.
Projects
- The Nutcracker opera posterThis is my final poster layout, which captivates the style and energy of the ballet show. I turned it in a different approach in the Christmas classic tale of the Nutcracker to showcase the terrifying rat king's demonic approach that appears as part of the story. Adding different kinds of energy towards the Nutcracker darkens the mood of the poster, and the integral consistency of design style strengthens the united variety of parts of the untold story.
- The book cover projectThe book's final cover, The Spy Who Comes In from the Cold, sets the tone of the whole work implied by this design. I felt representing the story of spy fiction through imagery is necessary for a lift of sense of the theme and clique of the genre I wanted to keep consistent in my illustrations. My initial version of the cover detailed the image in bolder stylisation, striving for the moment of the story in the 1960s, the context in which the book settled on giving for the cover.
- Coraline book cover projectIn this design, I aim to capture the essence of kindling and to reveal just enough to pique curiosity and draw readers in. I want to create a sense of intrigue and anticipation, inviting readers to delve into the captivating storyline. I'm using haunting and evocative imagery to set the mood for the book. I'm seeking inspiration to craft a comprehensive design that integrates various elements, using my unique mark-making to assemble collage pieces.
