NOSTALGIA

For my crowdsourcing project, I decided I wanted to focus on memories of childhood. I am a very nostalgic person, and my childhood/being a kid is something I tend to look too when making art and games.

For this particular project I decided to ask people to send me descriptions of an item in their childhood bedroom that was special to them, or that they strongly associated with their room. Once I had a few submissions, I drew them with my left hand, with crayons. My goal was to make each drawing look like they had been drawn by a little kid. Once drawn, I was trying to think of a way to arrange them, and once arranged, they reminded me of a sticker sheet. Once I had this thought, I leaned into the childish nature of the project and decided to design a sticker pack from the drawings.
