Damask Daydream grew out of my love for the soft pink of old parlours, which is why most of the style is drawn from pale damask, embroidered silk and gilded chairs dressed in striped fabric. In those rooms pink was the color of private luxury and quiet romance, and I wanted that same warmth to carry through every page of the series.
On its own that pink could easily feel like decoration, so I paired it with a romantic sunset landscape and a naive jungle painting that bring in glowing skies, oversized leaves and a gentle sense of strangeness. Those two paintings are what tip the style into pop surrealism, as though the parlour had drifted off to sleep and begun to dream.
The series imagines the pages of a fashion art book that was never published, a collection of editorial covers shot inside that dream. Real models with natural faces share each frame with giant blooms, enormous fruit and objects that grow in impossible ways, turning every image into a botanical surrealist spread where the colors and textures of the past quietly shape a very modern world.

Inspired by, I'm sharing one of my own concepts that wasn't chosen for the final design, but that I absolutely love.
This idea is so good! We all have concepts hiding in our drafts that never get to see the light of day. I think they deserve their moment, too. ✨
How many concepts die in your drafts folder? 💀
In the spirit of Inktober, a digital sketch that never saw the light.
This was a lettering-inspired brandmark...
Great job
I explored Walter Crane's 1875 Little Red Riding Hood illustrations, preserved in a public-domain edition digitized by the Smithsonian Libraries and Archives.
Inspired by their beautiful vintage colors, intricate linework, and classic storybook aesthetic, I reimagined the fairy tale as eight connected scenes set in 2026.
I created eight modern illustrations in Recraft Studio using individual historical artworks as Style from Reference inputs. I also created a shareable Custom Recraft V4 Style using eight original 1875 illustrations by Walter Crane.😊
Using Recraft Studio and historical illustrations as style references, I introduced smartphones, modern streetwear, smart homes, and city life while preserving the charm of the original artwork.
Each Before & After comparison brings a familiar nineteenth-century fairy tale scene into the modern world.
