THE LAST CLUB ON EARTH
A fictional underground nightclub celebrating freedom, self-expression, queer culture, and belonging.
Inspired by vintage cabaret posters and retro graphic design, this collection brings together posters, maps, tickets, characters, and visual artifacts that tell the story of a place where everyone can be themselves.
Created for the Recraft Archive Style Challenge.

What if history wasn't just something you looked at, but something you could wear, stick and make your own?
Stickers. Yes, stickers. The coolest invention of modern creative history, at least in my books. If you've been following my creative journey throughout this challenge, you know I've pivoted twice before landing on this idea.
And suddenly, it clicked.
What better way to connect with history than to turn it into something you can actually carry with you?
Not just admire art. Not just study it. Reimagine it.
But here's where the creative challenge got interesting.
Could stickers be fashionable? Usable? And, most importantly, scalable?
Turns out, the answer is a big, rebellious YES.
Look what happens when historical art meets contemporary creative expression.
Art-inspired fashion that brings the past into the present. Face stickers that turn art into personal expression. Backgrounds and stationery that make history part of everyday life. Fashion editorial covers that give historical inspiration a whole new identity.
And the best part? Every visual starts with an actual artwork from the Cleveland Museum of Art.

CANTIN | You know our coffee. Meet the neighbors.
I found John James Audubon's The Birds of America (1827–1838) on Wikimedia Commons and in the National Gallery of Art's open collection, hand-coloured engravings where every bird is drawn life-size on the plant it lives on. I cropped seven public-domain plates, without captions or plate numbers, and trained a Recraft V4 Style on them that I called Audubon Aves do Brasil. Audubon never painted Brazil, so I used his way of drawing on Brazilian birds that live around our coffee farms. To tie it together I created CANTIN, an invented Brazilian coffee brand with the campaign line "You know our coffee. Now meet the neighbors." That brand is the twist, since his plates now sell a 2026 coffee on the poster, the campaign seal, the labels, the tins and the kraft bags.
How the neighbors were made, in 30 seconds.
PLIQUE · LIBELLULE
I went through the Cleveland Museum of Art's open-access collection and picked four artworks from 1900 to 1920. I took their colours and details to design PLIQUE, an imaginary Paris fashion house. LIBELLULE means dragonfly in French.
What I took from each:
Lalique's dragonfly brooch → the see-through wings and frosted glass
Tiffany Studios velvet → the deep greens and soft textures
Gallé's glass vase → the leaves, the flowers and the warm amber glow
Redon's flower painting → the purple and plum
Lalique made a dragonfly small enough to pin on a collar. I turned it into clothes, shoes and bags.
Made in Recraft, with one Style built from these four artworks.
