lili and june

A few summers ago, I got a project request that charmed me. An eloquent woman described the boutique vintage shop that she was starting with such beautiful words. I felt like I was in a perpetual summer, having fresh peaches and ice cream forever.

The first few pieces that she had chosen for her collection were absolutely gorgeous. Artisanal pieces or simply pieces of art.

When the source material is enchanting like this, the work - at least for me - just flows. The lines of the bold yet delicate lily, the bag with many, many thin metal chains.These are the illustrations that I have done as online and print promotional pieces for this vintage shop.

These pieces were shortlisted by Communication Arts 2024.
