The Orange Book Collection
Alcohol marker and pen. In progress.
This collection contains some of my favorite series.
The first three pieces are the Sensations Series. I originally started them to experiment with hands and mouths- two forms I tend to struggle with artistically but adore thematically. The original drawings were on regular printer paper and colored using old Crayola markers, but I enjoyed the designs so much that I decided to recreate them with better materials and with a brighter color palette. I love how the slightly unsettling images pair with their cheery colors - it gives the pieces the whimsical and unserious feel that N1 Imaginations stands for.
The next five, the Footed Friends series, was technically the first commission work I ever did. It all started with Snail Male, which I doodled to test my new pens (Tombow Fudenosuke) on cardstock. I jokingly shared the drawing with a close friend, who loved it so much that he asked me to draw a series that he could decorate his walls with. He has yet to share the pictures of the framed drawings on the wall *ahem*, but this friend was instrumental in encouraging me to create N1 Imaginations.
I refuse to elaborate on the hands-head series.
