Series of illustration and characters design for a local art bookstore's event: "Xmas Art Market" by inpages (Saigon based art bookstore). Inspired by the familiar colors of Christmas, combined with hand-made textures and collage technique, the quirky characters were used in many posters design, banners, flyers...and eventually developed into merchandises including see-through stickers, pillowcases, bookmarks...The main theme of the event revolved around the topic of "reading", bringing back the culture of making note-books from scratch, treasuring hand-made items...so most of the characters and decorative elements were made in order to perform an act of reading, taking notes...or about the environment surrounding them.
