Illustration as Abstraction: Finding Your Unique Visual Style

​If your name were a shape, what would it look like?

​Guided by illustrator and poet inpuddles, this workshop will help you unlock your innate visual instincts and clarify what makes your style uniquely yours. We’ll explore abstraction as the core of style through exercises that quiet self-consciousness and amplify intuition.

​To conclude, participants will carve an abstract name stamp that captures their discoveries—something you can take home, ink, and make your mark with.

​About Shashi

​Shashi is an illustrator and poet living and working in Brooklyn. She intends to open up holes in the dense structures of our lives by positing questions rather than answers in her drawings. These questions often take the form of non-linear and melancholic picture books. Her current passion project is a picture book called Goodbye Rain, which ponders what it can mean to love a raindrop. Her life and drawings sustain themselves on poetry, philosophy, and a lot of blue.
