Monkeys in the Rainforest

for merkwürdig


I was invited by merkwürdig to create a seamless pattern for their client EWTC. This pattern depicts the lives of monkeys in the jungle. On closer inspection, you can also spot other inhabitants of the rainforest.

In addition to this pattern, I've created several animal and nature drawings for the project. These drawings represent countries and places you can visit with EWTC. They were featured in the catalog designed by the talented Nadine Häfner, who was also the art director for this project

Terri & Sandy

for Terri & Sandy 

Terri & Sandy is an independent advertising agency from NY. They invited me to create 8 unique patterns based on their core working principles. All the principles are hidden within metaphors that the passionate creative team at Terri & Sandy developed. My part was to bring these concepts to life through illustrations and to delve deeper into them using graphic language.

You can find more visuals on the personal pages by talented art directors Tanya Bechara and Kelly Scollard. They, along with the creative team at Terri & Sandy, developed these unique and bold ideas, which I thoroughly enjoyed working on.

Ophelia

for Art. Lebedev studio

In Ophelia pattern, the invisible heroine of Shakespeare’s play gently runs her fingers through field and forest grasses. Huge swamp mosquitoes and the pattern’s dark color scheme support the melancholic mood.

These prints were inspired by Pre-Raphaeliets paintings by John William Waterhouse and the image of Ophelia. My goal was to combine the portrait of a sank woman, a swamp, mosquitos, and wildflowers. My challenge was to enter the woman’s hands into a new pattern not making them look like a stump of dead limbs.

Mushrooms Underwater

for Art. Lebedev studio

This pattern is based on a graphic fusion of mushroom and jellyfish forms. The interpretation of the story depends on one's perspective. When you notice the mushroom shapes, it might evoke a forest setting. However, if you shift your focus to the jellyfish-like forms, you'll begin to realize that everything is underwater.

Yellow Crane Tower

for Home Like 

The story behind this pattern is rooted in a Chinese legend about the Yellow Crane Tower. According to the legend, a Taoist priest painted a crane on the wall of a tavern. This crane would come to life and dance whenever it heard music.
