Summer 2023

Hellllllllo summer!!!!  Summer is my FAVORITE time of the year.  To me, it just brings so many amazing memories.  I can always count on so much outdoor time with family and friends.  It just feels like a breath of fresh air, literally and figuratively.

When I started sketching this design, I knew I wanted it to be free and flowy.  Something fun for the eyes to look at.  I could not decide if I wanted any 3 dimensional aspect, so I ended up going for the “sticker look.” 

This design is interesting because I feel like this has stayed most true to it’s original sketch out of most things I have created.  Usually when I get to work, I work on my design for hours on end and it just takes a completely different form by the end of it.  Even more interesting, this is one of my original sketches!  I guess I just knew what I wanted for the start of Summer 2023!

When I think summer, I think bright.  This is where these colors come from.  I usually lean towards a very warm palette for summer, but this time around, I wanted to switch it up and tiny bit and gives these colors a little spunk.  So here is a “cool” twist on a traditionally “warmer” palette!

Have a great summer :-) or as we used to say in our middle school yearbooks, HAGS!
