Brief :
I had the pleasure of illustrating for Waves magazine, the official in-room media of Shutters on the Beach and Hotel Casa Del Mar. This luxury magazine highlights authentic travel stories focused on Santa Monica, Los Angeles, and the California coast, inspired by the ocean's timeless allure. For this issue, I illustrated bottles of natural wines from notable California wine brands such as Good Boy, Say When, and Florez Wine, along with elements like a hand swirling a wine glass and a nose evaluating aroma—two key components of tasting good wine. With 10 unique illustrations spanning a full page and additional spot elements, I aimed to capture the essence of the wine experience. As an illustrator passionate about wine label design, branding, and advertising, I’m excited to connect with California’s wine industry and create more artwork in the natural wine world!
