She/Her - Why did you create this work?
I've been teaming up with OTO Coffee Bar in Wroclaw since day one, shaping its visuals – logo, window art, apparel, and, most importantly, coffee packaging. In 2024, their logo-mascot, OTO Bear, returned in full chaos mode: climbing Wroclaw’s skyline, spinning in NYC, and surfing with sharks. Drawing this madness? An absolute blast! - How were your illustrations used?
I designed these three illustrations as the main stars of the coffee packaging. Each one tells its own story and takes over the entire bag – front, back, and even the bottom. No empty spaces, just pure caffeinated adventure! - What materials and techniques did you use?
I kicked things off the classic way – paper, pencil, the whole old-school ritual. Then, I went full digital, redrawing everything on my iPad in Adobe Fresco, turning lines into sleek vectors. - Was this project commissioned?
