144 Faces Project
Illustration & Packaging

2020

The day to day experience of the initial covid lockdown was so heavily repetitive that I wanted to mimic that in a project. Along with repetition, my experience in those days was quite lonely. Between repetition and loneliness I came up with these ‘Friends’. I drew 144 expressive faces with black paint marker over the course of the first month of the initial Covid-19 lockdown. I wanted to create a work that would both occupy my time, and fill a lot of space. 

Once that step of the project was complete, I wanted something more to come of them and as they were already a solid colour, the collection was primed to be cut and print as single colour vinyl stickers. I designed the fold-over bag toppers and had the vinyl stickers cut at a previous workplace - Print Machine in Edmonton, Alberta.

Packaging & Production

Each pack was made of a group of 3 distinct faces each 3” by their widest margin. 48 packs were sold online with no reprints or repatitions, each a pack of 3 unique designs and all packs have been sold.
