Not Enough Flowers

in , , , , , ,

Hello, hello!

Over the month of February 2023 I finished the following spot illustrations! They are all personal pieces — made for fun — and are an exploration of fashion, costumery, geometry, sculpture, and florals. The florals are a bit subtle, I know.

I want to continue this series throughout the year (if not this series, one similar). I would also like to expand the series by branching out into different mediums. These were all made digitally in Procreate, but I would like to start experimenting with printmaking, sculpture materials (clay, wood, etc.), plain old pen, ink, and paper, and other things I’ve been missing lately.

Perhaps my digital drawings will be guides for more tactile work. We’ll see. I’ll keep you posted.

Anyway, the illustrations below are definitely not presented in chronological order — but they were posted in order over on my instagram though you’ll have to work backward and scroll down to see the first in the series … you know how social media works.

Ok, thanks for reading! Enjoy the drawings! Talk to you soon.

in , , , , , , ,

I’m very excited to share that my illustration, “Dream Job” was selected to be a part of The Society of Illustrators 65 Annual Exhibit and Book. “Dream Job” is an uncommissioned illustration about overwork, stress, and burnout in the workplace.

It will be on view at The Society of Illustrators in NYC from 11 January through 11 February 2023.

This is my first time being selected to be featured in the Illustrators Annual. Many, many thanks to the judges, and to everyone at The Society for putting the show and book together!

Madeline McMahon's illustration, "Dream Job," portrays a man crying at his cubicle at work while his coworkers stare at him. It is a piece about overwork, stress, and burnout in the workplace.
