Her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/voz.art\/\">artwork<\/a> is inspired by Japanese animation, fashion, tattoos, and pop culture.<\/p>\n<p>Voz&#8217;s cute, clean, and stylish illustrations are so thoughtfully composed, such as her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozartist.com\/illustration\/shoebox-village\">Shoebox Village<\/a> series, which takes popular shoebox designs and turns them into eclectic storefronts&#8211;for example, Nike SB transforms into a tiny 7-Eleven surrounded by cherry blossoms. Another notable project is a set of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozartist.com\/illustration\/blm-sticker-project\">Black Lives Matter stickers<\/a>, which Voz designed to raise funds for Color of Change and the Black Trans Travel Fund. Her other illustrations depict unique, vibrant characters, and include experiments with streetwear, tattoo commissions, and more.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s something so dynamic and perfectly timely about Voz&#8217;s work. Her colorful prints wonderfully capture a sense of individuality and youth that can&#8217;t easily be described in words. If you take a look at her personal Instagram account, you&#8217;ll be wowed with her laid-back, effortlessly cool fashion aesthetic that informs her work.<\/p>\n<p>Take a look for yourself. Grab a sticker pack or some delightful prints at her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vozartist.com\/shop\">shop<\/a>. As Voz says, it&#8217;s always a good time to &#8220;add some drip to your home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>*This is also my last post for arts, ink. as I am graduating this May. It&#8217;s been a great three years writing about arts and culture.
