Karolina Pawelczyk draws wonky-looking characters that seem to be very much in fashion. Using bright-colored markers, her illustrations have a playfulness to them that’s very much intended. Because when it comes to both fashion and art, we could always use a dab of humor and good cheer.
“When I think of my style I’m sure it’s quite… happy!” Pawelczyk admitted in an interview with I Love Illustration. “I use bright colors of markers which I buy in every place of the world I visit and my favorite Canson paper. I turn on nice music, create a really nice atmosphere and I draw. Nowadays I also help myself with an Ipad, where I plan my work, make sketches.”
“What I love the most about my job is that every project is different,” she added. “One day I draw for magazines, next day I focus on the illustrations for campaigns, another day I search for inspiration for the 20/30 meters big illustration which is going to stand in the center of one of the biggest cities in Europe. This is quite crazy and I love it.”
Her upbeat personality and unique style of illustration haven’t gone unnoticed in the fashion world, attracting brands as big as Marc Jacobs and Grazia Germany, which have shared her illustrations on their social media platforms. Pawelczyk has also collaborated with BIZUU, which has printed her illustrations on t-shirts, blouses, and dresses.
