Tema e Variazioni

I created a set of images I’d like to get printed at Moo as stickers. I used the Fornasetti: Themes and Variations as inspiration to hold it all together. By replacing Lina Cavalieri’s face I seem to be able to draw on an reoccurring basis. The smiling content face with closed eyes is influenced by illustrators such as Savignac, Paul Rand (Little 1) and Saul Bass (The Poster for 123).

Click here to see the set.
