💜💙Some more otherworldly pieces
from the Liquid Dreams collection in cooler blue and
purple hues 💙💜

01/07/2023

Wooohooo so I made 4 sales yesterday yey! Also being open and transparent, they came from my partner and my mum but they bought the pieces they liked the most and wanted to have printed ✨

Introducing the Liquid Dreams collection, I loved creating these pieces 💜🧡❤️
Any technique that I can use that produces a random outcome of colour, shape and texture is just my favourite 😄 I could experiment for hours just combining colours and watching outcome unfold!

26/06/2023

Finally some warmer and richer tones of hot pink and red ❤️💖
I also think by coincidence, the pink used is very similar to that of Barbie pink which feels appropriate for the release next month!
I'm still slowly posting this first collection but my Etsy now has around 40 pieces to download. The fun thing is that they can also be used as backgrounds for your phone or laptop 😃

More ways to display the Chroma Waves collection on your walls 🖼
Selecting a matte or satin heavier weight paper if perfect for a print like this 😃

So once again it's been a little while since last posted! We've figured out that in the past 10 months, we have lived in 9 different places. They've ranged from 10 days to 4 months and have that constant movement can result in this part of myself gets shelved!

We just moved into a house which for the first time, it looks as though we can stay for as long as we want (yey!). When I feel settled then I start feeling creative again which is nice 😊

Anyway so the listings I originally put up on Etsy had timed out, I hadn't made any sales but that's okay. The process of using Print on Demand services was actually very time consuming and I wasn't in a position to test the products first due to not having a consistent address. I'd also not been actively promoting and engaging with it myself so I just let it run it's course!

I decided recently to just offer my pieces as digital downloads so I have been converting them into the different ratios for print and uploading them Etsy ✨
I've just uploaded the first collection 〰️ Chroma Waves 〰️ and each listing contains 4 files depending on what size you could want to display them. They also feature words associated with positive affirmations as a reminder to stay present.

You can see the full collection here - https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/KoaStudioUK 💜

So the past couple of months have gotten quite busy with freelance web development work but in the spare time I had, I was working on creating a Koa Studio website woo!

Check it out - koastudio.co.uk

I've also been creating more abstract pieces and experimenting with some new other palettes as well 😊

16/02/2023

I also created sticker sheets featuring the marbled line collection and some fun motivational quotes that could be used to decorate water bottles, note books and laptops ✨🌀

Happy Valentines Day! Some more colour ways from the marbled lines collection, this time featuring the colour of looove 💖 I could create these all day so if there's any colour combination you would like to see, just drop me a message 😊

12/02/2023

Finally getting around to sharing some of the products I recently listed on my Etsy (etsy.com/uk/shop/KoaStudioUK) using my marbled lines collection 🌀 I love using techniques and processes that create random outcomes. It takes away some of the pressure to be perfect and instead just explore and have fun!

12/10/2022

The final colour way and this style 💜💖🧡

11/10/2022

I love creating work where the outcome will be a surprise once it's been manipulated with some adjustments! Back at uni, my favourite thing to do was open screen printing in the textiles department and the print I developed for my final collection followed a similar method theme and outcome! 🎨
Need to dig that back out! 😄

10/10/2022

So the next few are getting more abstract! Moving away from the previous softer shapes and distorting them to become more of a play between 2 worlds 🌀
And if there's anyone out there who might know how I could create something like this in a more 3D video format then let me know! Think it would look cool like iridescent water shimmering in the sunlight 🤩

07/10/2022

Now just need to figure out what products they would work well on! 😄

06/10/2022

Dreamy 🌀

05/10/2022

I recently started working back into these and added some more satisfying textures! 🌈✨

04/10/2022

With these ones I used the Lightbrush and they reminded me of the neon lights in Hong Kong! 🌈✨

03/10/2022

Second Blobbles style using one of my favourite brushes - Smoke!
I love the dispersion of colour with these shapes 💖💜💙🧡
I've also mocked these up in some square frames which I really like the look of! 😊

02/10/2022

My next series to share are my (working title) Blobbles! I just checked back to see when I first started creating them and it was 2 days before 2022 began and I was feeling pretty anxious about what the year was going to bring! 😅
I found that I could create these super quick and they really calmed my mind in the process!
I haven't quite decided what I want to do with them in the long run but thought I would share them anyway! 💜🧡

28/09/2022

And another in pinks and oranges 🟠 〰️

27/09/2022

Here's another colour way in shades of pink and blue 🔵 〰

26/09/2022

I started to play around repeat prints using some of the shapes and colours I'd been previously experimenting with. 🟣 〰️
I love coming across unique prints in fashion, homewares and accessorises so it's been fun to try and develop my own! 😊

20/09/2022

This piece is still work in progress but I’m super happy with it so far! Our walls and carpets had purple tones and anything orange and pink contrasted so nicely in my room that I wanted to continue that vibe 💜🧡💗
I’m no longer in that flat and as the kitchen table was remaining there, it’s nice to have a piece which I will keep with me 😊

19/09/2022

18/09/2022

Now you’ve seen the process, here’s the finished piece! 😊

Very grateful for my flatmate for letting me do this to the table and to her previous flatmate for leaving it behind in the first place! This lil project really did carry me through those final days of isolation when you straight up have cabin fever 😅 It really bought some new life into that kitchen! ✨

16/09/2022

15/09/2022

Yey I’ve got some wifi again and I’m able to share some more work! 🙌

I changed up my style at this stage and the next few posts were from when I was self isolating with covid! I was on day 6 and beginning to feel better but stuck for how to entertain myself 😅 I’d spoken to my housemate about painting our kitchen table so began to experiment with smoother/matt styles to get the inspiration flowing using a colour palette that would compliment existing colours in the flat 😊

08/09/2022

The final lil lass in this series 💜❤️
I constantly revisit old designs and I think I'll be playing around with some different colour palettes in these styles 😊

07/09/2022

I really enjoyed creating these ones and having spent time now in the Philippines, I've realised that the abstract flowers look like the feet of the Tokay gecko! (Last pic for context) 😄 🦎

These next characters are a bit more playful with their jazzy botanical hair 👋 🟪 ❤️

Once I’d finished with the kitchen table, I looked around at my other furniture to see what else I could renovate! I have 3 drawer bedside table which I’d previously whitewashed and was looking pretty dated so made this my next project. Here’s the my Procreate time lapse showing the process of this project 😊💜 #procreate #digitalart #art #illustration #drawing #procreateart #artist #digitalillustration #artistsoninstagram #sketch #artwork #digitaldrawing #digitalpainting #illustration #graphicdesign #abstract #matisse #furniturepainting #furniturerenovation #mural #muraldesign #diy #bedroomdesign #furnituremakeover #furnituredesign

Here’s a time lapse of my thinking process for the kitchen table 😊 The table itself was around 1m x 1.5m and could fit 6 people. This was a really fun process trying to figure out what to eventually go for - something with symmetry or just totally abstract. In the end abstract won and when I had finished mocking it up, I started to map it out on the table 😊 #procreate #digitalart #art #illustration #drawing #procreateart #artist #digitalillustration #artistsoninstagram #sketch #artwork #digitaldrawing #digitalpainting #illustration #graphicdesign #abstract #matisse #furniturepainting #furniturerenovation #mural #muraldesign #kitchendecor #diy
