St.Joost "Welcome monsters" [2023]

In 2023, I designed a series of 14 illustrations for the "welcome sketchbooks" at St. Joost School of Art & Design in Breda. The characters are inspired by a mix of Maya and African cultural elements, resulting in expressive faces full of personality and symbolism. The idea was to greet new students with something visually striking and culturally rich. It became a playful exploration of identity, tradition, and creative expression. The illustrations were created using pencil and fineliner.
