Artists You Should Know: Yukai Du

More talented artists from the reaches of the internet! I was delighted to stumble across Yukai Du recently, an illustrator from Guangzhou, China who lives and works in London. The color palettes she uses mixed with the soft edges of her lines make her work a treat for the eyes! Check her out on instagram here and see more below!

The Boroughs Chocolate Bar

I worked with Australian store The Boroughs to outfit a chocolate bar made by artisan chocolatier Jade Bentley from East Brunswick institution Monsieur Truffe. The bars are made exclusively for The Boroughs where they offer three flavors: Fruit & Nut and Cherry & Coconut are wrapped in art by Sandra Eterovic and Molly Rose Dyson respectively. The third type, milk chocolate mixed with colorful popping candy is wrapped in my Future Progression print. It's a popping treat! Check it out here!

Rand Renfrow + Pattern

For Mokuyobi's Spring 15 line I worked with amazing artist and good friend Rand Renfrow! He made a pattern design entitled 'Tea Party' which I used on a 5 panel hat and a Philip Pouch fanny pack for Summer '15. Check out some of the work from his website below and his illustrated pattern in action on the bottom of this post!
