Juuuiiice by Pandaluna

A funny shirt designed by Pandaluna who explains the reason why of this nasty orange :-)

Hi Pandaluna
Hi Nathalie :-)

Nice to speak to you again :-)
The same, it’s like coming back home.

What is the story behind “Juuuiiice”? Is it a halloween theme or is there a hidden message? How long did it take to make it and how did you proceed?
The juuuiiiice story is very simple. I was walking in the street (Yes, I enjoy walking as it makes my ideas clearer, I’m getting old I guess …) and I saw an orange peel on the ground and my brain got it right, which led me to a weird idea. I imagined the orange with some skin left over and told myself it could be a zombie orange. Then I asked myself how it would feed itself … with a straw and feeding on another orange’s pulp.

As for its realization I did a sketch and then worked on it on Illustrator. The longest part was the colouring and I must thank my girlfriend for her help :-) We worked a lot on the rotten orange color and how to make this orange look like a zombie and I think we got it right. So it took me a whole afternoon.

Can you draw your interpretation of “Closed for the summer, we’re on vacation?” Thanks Pandaluna !
