We worked with Beekman 1802 to design a collection of body products that work as great as they look. This line is enriched with meadowfoam oil, sweet autumn clematis, jasmine, and a hint of almond. We worked to incorporate these elements into the package illustrations in all of the individual elements of the collection.

Dandelion Chocolate

2018 ADVENT CALENDAR

Illustrator

Dandelion Chocolate is a San Francisco based small batch Chocolatier. Each year they create an advent calendar that showcases other local confectioners.

For their 2018 collection, they wanted to go bigger than ever before, creating an intricate hand illustrated package for their largest production run in history.

They turned to Maximal for the project.

This calendar is a true collaboration; with 13 California based confectioners, Maximal founder Maggie Enterrios and calligraphy by Lisa Quine, each calendar is a true work of art. The entire piece showcases a highly detailed illustrative style as with each of the 25 individual boxes was hand drawn with San Francisco area flora and fauna.

The calendar was featured by Martha Stewart and enjoyed by families across the world.

Nature Observer: A Guided Journal

A NEW WAY TO JOURNAL

Illustration

 

Introducing a new way to journal. This year-long book is filled with beautifully illustrated calendars, goal trackers, weekly planners and writing prompts meant to spark your creativity. Nature Observer follows the seasons and encourages you to organize your daily life while appreciating and exploring the outdoors on a constant basis.

Nature Observer was a complete passion project of Maximal owner, Maggie Enterrios.  While living in Chicago, she illustrated this book throughout most of winter, and though it was snowing outside, found herself researching diverse plants from across the country; spring and summer bloomers that provided a great deal to look forward to.

Over 200 pages of illustrations that had to be technically accurate in order to appeal to a horticulture audience, but they also had to have enough illustrative whimsy to nestle into the broader journaling and bullet journaling market. 

Read more about the process in an interview with the publisher over at the Timber Press Blog.

CITY SPECIFIC STICKERS

Illustration

 

Instagram rolled out a feature allowing users to customize their photos or video with local flair. They teamed up with artists living in select cities around the world to provide custom stickers that embody the feel of their town.

We created original illustrations for several Chicago locations and simplified them for use in Instagram Stories. The drawings were featured in several publications including AdWeek, the Chicago TribuneRefinery29 and on Instagram's Blog. The final art was created in Procreate on iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.
