New TalentWhy did you make this work:
The brief was to illustrate the concept 'Betrothed.' For me, the theme 'Betrothed' is firmly linked with the idea of commitment. Commitment looks like different things to different people, but perhaps commonalities can include values like trust, fidelity, and the willingness to make an effort. The image has a serious highly detailed approach, emphasizing the concept's light-hearted punchline.

Biography:
Raleigh based artist and illustrator Danyelle Lakin’s aim is to create pretty yet provocative images. With an inquisitive stance and a love of color and concept, she strives to portray the wonderfully interesting world of dysfunction and imperfection. Cheerfully kitsch imagery is used in contrast to the deeper, more ominous undercurrents and implications found when the surface is scratched.
