Sweet & Wild

What this strawberry fish candy packaging taught me about myself...

I recently finished another piece in my sketchbook-junk journal-scrapbook hybrid. This book that began as a justification for keeping little bits of ephemera, had turned into a bit of a safe haven. Coming off the heels of 4 pretty much back to back book illustration projects, I’ve found myself (as you know from previous posts) feeling a bit burnt out. That’s not to say that the creative pull wasn’t there— it was— but the outlet for that energy was unclear. I really WANTED to draw, but what and in what medium was alluding me.
