Who wants tea? A while ago I did two animations for AirBnB, for an internal art project. I keep forgetting to share them, I love them both! This one was based on the cosiness, safety, and warmth that comes from being in someone’s home. Also based on my love of tea.
Death Book Pop-Up Magazine, March 2nd, NYC
A recent project I worked on was this series of illustrations, animated and no, for a short nonfiction piece by Rachel Monroe for Pop Up Magazine. The story is about the author’s mother, who collects phrases from the obituary section of the newspaper in a little black notebook. It’s a therapeutic ritual.
Pop Up Magazine is a one-night show, each one unique, performed in cities across the US. This story and my work (projected behind the reader, on-stage) were only seen once. I’m really impressed with Pop-Up for the amount of coordination that must go into putting these shows together, and it was really fun to work with them on this.
Sorry for the image-heavy post, but I wanted to share these and I’ve fallen behind with my posting, hehe! I illustrate for a weekly podcast for the New Yorker, and each week I’m brought a new and interesting topic. The deadlines are tight so I have to experiment with new ways to create an image quickly, and it’s chance to try out different styles too. It’s refreshing!
