Industrious Illustrating #31 – Sticker Designs

Sorry for the late post — midterms week and the beginning of spring break were a bit chaotic for me. This week I have a few sticker designs to show that I made for the Hong Kong Student Association. I don’t do a lot of sticker or small designs, so trying my hand at them was interesting. I personally really like cute food-themed designs, and my favorite Hong Kong foods are egg waffles, shrimp dumplings (and dim sum in general), and egg tarts, so I made three designs inspired by them.

In the end, HKSA ended up selecting the first two designs, and the tshirt/sweater/sticker order form is currently open to club members! I’m glad that I took the chance to challenge myself by working with something different, and I’m going to consider making more dessert/food-themed designs in the future for my personal enjoyment in the future.

If I would have known how you would make my heart tremble 

If I would have known how you would make my heart ache

If I would have seen the future at stake 

If I would have seen the memories we’d make 

Only to come crashing down

Leaving me aimless untethered and lost 

Desperately fitting broken pieces together 

That never quite fit the way they used to 

I would have done everything I could 

To never know you

A Day In Our Lives #19

Hey guys,
This week I’m uploading an illustration that I had started for a zine that was accepting submissions here on campus. With my busy schedule, it was really difficult to meet the deadline and I was unable to enter, however, I felt like it was a good opportunity to work on my digital illustration skills.  I think that it could have ended up as a pretty cool submission. It is important for an artist, especially a college student, to have good time management. I draw digitally on my iPad using procreate. I hope everyone is having a good spring break!!
See you next week,
Marissa 

Evolving Emotions: Love- Photography

These are old photos I created around Valentine’s Day. At the time, the first photo reminded me of the sixties or eighties. (I’m still not sure which.) I’ve never been able to recreate the hairstyle, but I’m glad I captured it! I hope you had a fantastic Valentine’s Day full of whatever makes you happy!
