This illustration series, titled ‘DEAD!’, was created to kickstart my online Redbubble store* and promote myself on social media.
To promote my brand, I used the Noah Reyes skull character** as a base for these illustrations. From there, I re-styled the icon to fit a 1930’s cartoon look and feel. In combining the playful and light-hearted feel of 1930’s cartoons with the simplicity and boldness of my personal brand, I represented the type of work I want to create for potential clients. By contrasting playful colours and witty phrases with slightly morbid subject matter, I wanted to give potential clients a subliminal nudge to take things less seriously and be light-hearted… Which is representative of the work I want my brand to be known for.
Sold on Redbubble as prints, stickers, apparel and merchandise. Garnered positive feedback across social media and sold multiple items.
