September 2023 Theme Announcement: "Apothecary"

September's theme is Apothecary featuring an original character I drew three years ago who is a herbalist in an apothecary store. She patiently dries and measures homeopathic remedies to comfort the concerns of her client.

I drew apothecary girl on a whim multiple years ago as an excuse to draw a vintagey herb store with dried plants. She was well received back then but I never drew her again, but this month I want to explore a little bit more of her character. The sticker sheet showed some of her daily workings, from fulfilling orders to measuring dried powder. I also hope you like the freehand apothecary logo I drew for this direction!

I splurged a little this month too on the postcard design! It will be a clear PVC postcard with gold foil frame as if it looks like a window to her store. The background will be clear and I imagine that you can place it in front of some flowers.

The Apothecary pin is a gold metal, 40.1mm x 46mm hard enamel pin, and features 2 butterfly clutches on the back so that it's extra secure.

Late one night a couple years ago, I found this apothecary girl sticker. It was stuck on a random bicycle (my city has a public bikeshare system).

It’s an odd memory but it really made my day when I found it. I was very stressed that night and when I found it I must have spent 10 minutes carefully peeling it off to put it my the back of my phone.

After taking my case off for the first time in ages, I took a picture of it and reverse image searched. It was so lovely to find your art and such a unique service. I’m glad I had the chance to stumble onto your sticker— apothecary girl is great.
