Competition: Shop Local Illustration Award | Theme: The joy of shopping local | Location: Japan

My illustration won the grand prize for the Shop Local Illustration Award 2018 co-sponsored by American Express and JCB in Japan. The theme was inspired by the joy of shopping local and the importance of supporting small businesses with a little twist of my whimsicalness.

I’m grateful for everyone's support and those who voted for my illustration. This piece was eventually printed as an advertising sticker posted on local storefronts in Japan.

My artwork, along with many other amazing creatives globally was selected by the jury of curators @amplifierart to help build the #vaccinated campaign in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Selected posters will be widely circulated in hospitals and public health institutions around the world to promote trust in the safety, efficacy and equity distribution of vaccines...and you can also download any selected artwork here and spread the word!

My illustration/artwork focuses on the topic of “V for #Vaccinated” and “Vaccines for all”. No matter your ethnic and/or socio-economic background, access to vaccines should be an equal opportunity for all. Still masked up, these diverse group of people represent an inclusive community of #vaccinated people promoting common good and public health equity, encouraging others to join the positive movement towards safety, immunity and hope.

Competition: Domaine Bertagna Art & Vin Wine Label Competition | Theme: La Liberté | Location: France

So if you know me well, I’m an avid wine lover…and a passionate and adventurous artist. May I say that combined all is a dream come true; a bliss beyond one’s endeavor?

I’m humbly honored and thrilled to have won a wine label artwork open call competition hosted by the sophisticatedly crafted and immensely superb winery: Domaine Bertagna in Burgundy (Côte de Nuits), France. The artwork is for the Chardonnay Les Croix Blanches label for the Vintage 2020 to be introduced this late Spring. 

The artwork theme was “la liberté” so I went with my usual whimsical free-spirited world to depict a scenery of what “freedom” means to me adding their charming chateau and winery field in the distance (I’d love to visit one day!)

Check their website to learn more about their wine-making, history, global distribution list, their mesmerizing process and dedication in wine-making along with the people who are devoted in making all the magic come true. 

Thank you Domaine Bertagna for the opportunity for global artists including myself to participate in this inspiring project that combines wine and art!
