Description Big project in Illustration. We were to make a mock up ad for a furniture store that sells hip retro bauhaus-ish stuff, using 5 squares and a line running through the whole thing connecting each square.

I decided to do mine in cut paper, since I was intrigued by how a lot of the furniture in the store was of solid colors.

The entire piece is actually flush to each edge, but after much crying and pleading and gnashing of teeth I finally gave up on photomerge and my dumb scanner and just stuck them together. Apologies to the design gods for my misdemeanor ;o;

I'll upload the separate squares as well so you can see them in more detail!

Looking at the whole thing, I think Curly would be the first to fall, which would send the table careening into Freckles, who would drop his chair, unbalancing Blue, who would stumble and find a sofa landing on her, Redshirt would stumble forwards trying to catch it, dropping the lamp and letting Blondie fall backwards, her chair would probably end up landing on Sweatervest's leg and his arm would give way, and Red would be... rather unharmed.

Lovely and quirky concept, also very well carried out. I love how each panel flows into the following one and gives this a collective feeling of unison and a sense of "floatless gravity".

OH my gosh it all comes together when its connected! There is so much emotion and fluidness in this, its wonderful I would buy this furniture presented like this This is so clever and the colors work very nicely together. Their outfits are also adorable, they match the retro theme of the furniture. I'm glad you're posting more it makes me so happy

This is too awesome to be allowed to live! (okay j/k but still!) I almost want a copy of it to put as a poster in my dorm room next year. And the girl in the Blue dress reminds me of Tiana from Princess and the Frog.

Thank you, haha!

Haha, another friend of mine said the same thing. If I had gone with the double buns instead perhaps it would have been less of an issue...

aww, you're too kind, thank you! ;u;

I was very specific about my color palette, no greens or purples allowed!

Everything goes so well together!

I resisted the temptation! There are green items in the store, but all my favorite things ended up being from this very particular palette, so I went with it. ;3;
