For The Stranger’s climate issue, I was tasked with creating a character named Drippy, inspired by Microsoft’s iconic Clippy 📎.
Drippy is a soggy, coffee-soaked paper straw, stained with lipstick and perpetually exhausted — but still eager to answer your questions! The goal was to make environmental topics, like recycling rules, more approachable and engaging.
I developed multiple poses and speech bubble templates for Drippy, along with a playful animated GIF of him cheerfully saying hello! 🥤
I was asked to create an illustration for the team at Brand New School for National Pet Day. It was a fun challenge to draw 18 dogs, 9 cats, and 1 hamster!
Four pieces for Bloomberg’s Opinion section. The articles revolved around finance and employment rates, and my goal was to convey these dry topics in a light, playful way.AD: Chandra Illick
