My inspiration for Andrea’s drink stir illustrations
A few weeks ago I posted a sneak peek of acrylic swizzle sticks I had created for Andrea from AndreaandMarcus.com. If you missed it, this was the sneak peek:

Since she isn’t getting married this wasn’t a wedding illustration per se, so I didn’t use their love story or other couple inspiration as muse… instead, I worked with these visual influences:
Andrea loves Alexander McQueen (oh boy, me too!) – the black lace pattern was a reference:
Stilettos by Alexander McQueen
Carrying this inspiration forward, I loved this bouquet:
Another influence for my illustration was the attitude, pose, and sexiness of this ad (Andrea loves Coco too!):
and while it’s not her, this is so “Andrea”!

The drink stirs are just one item I’ve created for Andrea so far – can’t wait to create design items for her in full color – stay tuned, there will be more!
PS if you’re interested to get swizzle sticks with your very own illustration, either as special design accent and keepsake for your wedding or as unique conversation-starter promotional piece for your brand, just email me, I’ll love to hear from you!
