The importance of creating with icons.
All of us are at different stages of our creative journey.
We want to share a transformative approach that revolutionized not just our artwork but the way we perceive the illustrative process: thinking in icons.
My Revelation
Before embracing icons, my illustrations were a maze of overdrawn images, complex yet unclear.
It was a struggle to communicate the essence of my vision. I learned in an Art Class that thinking in icons was a way of simplifying complexities and sharpening my message. It was like finding a new language.
I now know how to deliver ideas, not just fill a page with images.

My new process
Icons have helped me hone my illustration process.
Icons can be thought of as stage props, as a way to play and fill a page, as objects full of personality, and even as a type of collage!
It’s freeing and playful to use icons, but most importantly… icons are effective.
