Teefury

Words from the curator:

Frightening and mysterious or not, Yetis have hearts too. And the first snowfall of each year is certainly enough to warm them for months to come.

Tell us about this design:

I made this design because now I'm at the point that I can't wait for the first snow to arrive. Also, when I was a kid, I used to catch snowflakes.

What was your favorite movie as a kid:

I've always been a huge fan of Pixar. When I was eleven years old I went to see Toy Story in the theater and it changed my life. It was really weird to go see it 15 years later (Toy Story 1 & 2 in 3D) because I realized that's it's mainly because of Pixar that I'm still passionate about illustration and story telling.

What advice would you offer to aspiring designers?

Start by finding artists that you love, see if between them there is a connection and get inspired by them at first. After that your own style will come out of it. Three years ago, I decided I wanted to be an illustrator. My goal was to do at least one illustration per week to improve my style. Now, three years later, I'm still doing it. I think it has really helped.

Do you have any interesting hobbies?

Even my hobbies are related to drawing. I'm currently working on two children's books. It's taking up most of my time, but it's so fun to do :).
