    uniE621 Sunset Smoothies
    We created around 25 colorful pictures representing ingredients and a style of drink or food. I love using gradients since it blends nicely flavours and colors of different fruits. . The last thing that was done was an A-stand. To make it feel more homey and cozy we decided to paint it instead. A surfing orange drinking the smoothie. Hope he will bring all the surfers! graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer
    paper Nostalgia Cocktail Book

    This idea was created, when I saw how much time and energy goes into creating new special cocktails and many of them are forgotten after a season.

    But what if we can make them at home? I know a lot of people who are starting with bartending and are looking for books. It was always old clasics like The Savoy Cocktail Book, or The Bartenders Guide. Which yes, they are amazing books worth looking at and learning from. But they are 100 years old.

    That is why we need new cocktail books, new recipes, new perspective.

    Over the years of this bar created over 80 different cocktails. So just to remember them I have decided to make illustrations for each and also collect all the recipes also for sirups and special ingreients.

    paper Little Tajine

    The concept of a Little Tajine was created in Morocco. Tajine is, as many of us know, the traditional dish of Morocco. And also our main character. Happy little face with my signature eyes and nose gliding along clean long waves on a longboard doing tricks like hang 5 and hang 10. And doing all sorts of every day activities. Eating moroccan food, cooking, hanging out with friends.

    I personally prefer when illustrations are made by hand with all these little imperfections and not straight lines. It does not have to look perfect. But it needs to have soul.
