E.ON heat sensitive print

Client: E.ON

Year: 2020

When E.ON got in touch with me to collaborate on this heat-sensitive print, I knew straight away that it would be a great way to highlight the fragility of our ecosystem, as well as show off the beauty of nature, animals and humans living together in harmony. I was inspired by this harmony and wanted to represent some of my favourite animals who all sport some crazy fun patterns. I knew when the temperature got too hot in people’s homes (over 21° to be exact), the black stripes, dots and marks would disappear from the animals and show that everything is interconnected...These animals need us to make the right choices in order to survive and thrive.

My process to create the print was the following: I started by sketching a lot of ideas in a notebook and then went on to paint my favourite compositions with ink. From there, I did a more refined ink illustration, scanned it, edited it and colourised it in Photoshop. I created a few colourways for E.ON to choose from and they ended up picking my favourite, the one with a green background! I really wanted the print to be colourful, fun and bring some joy to people’s homes as well as helping them be more sustainable.
