Ashley Dreyfus’ love for artwork began at a younger age, like most artists, however she got here into the world of digital drawing on her personal whereas working at an ice cream store in lieu of school. She taught herself how you can use digital drawing packages by watching Youtube movies and speaking with different artists in her group. She has since created artwork for purchasers like Roku, Specialised Bicycles, Nascar, and, to our current delight, DOMA Espresso Roasting Firm.
Every season we work with an artist to create a Winter Wonderland label. The task is fairly open e book, however every year the artwork should embrace a snowflake and a tree. With artwork influences like Keith Haring, Peter Max and Andy Warhol, Dreyfus created a playful, animate and maybe essentially the most colourful Winter Wonderland label but for our seasonal winter espresso mix.
Dreyfus begins her day with a cup of espresso and a sketchbook, and believes you possibly can by no means have sufficient coloration while you make artwork. She enjoys drawing variations of cat characters and including smiley faces on inanimate objects to show them into full of life characters. Her human-esque artwork characters, she says, are “Alter Egos” of people.
“The thought behind the characters [in my art] is that they exist in a world stuffed with love and acceptance. Everyone seems to be the truest type of themself. My characters exist in a world the place everyone seems to be seen equally,” says Dreyfus.
Except for drawing, Dreyfus’ favourite medium is mural portray. She loves the group draw of this artwork type.
“It’s such a gratifying feeling having the ability to scale up a design on a wall and go away your everlasting mark within the surroundings you’re in,” she says. “Murals are so essential for communities, as a result of they provoke thought and sweetness in an in any other case industrial or bland streetscape. I really like that murals can begin conversations and encourage.”
In that method, her artwork is slightly like an incredible cup of espresso.
Thanks, Ashley, for creating for us. Completely happy Winter.
