"Lifeblood" - poster design

"Lifeblood" is a mashup illustration created to express my experience during the initial pandemic in 2020. I lost my job, and my sewing machine essentially became my lifeblood. As a lifelong textile designer and maker, I found solace but also much-needed income after losing my job. In this illustration, the anatomical heart symbolises my love of creating, but also the idea of the veins becoming the life-giving thread. The pattern on the piece of fabric is one of my own textile designs. The final illustration was created using Adobe Illustrator from my original pencil sketches.
