Maricor Maricar

Maricor/Maricar is a twin sized studio specialising in hand embroidered illustration and lettering for use in publishing and advertising. They also direct for stop motion animation, hand craft props and design custom lettering in a variety of mediums.

I have been following the studio since I discovered them whilst on my foundation course. I find their work uplifting, playful and exciting. The way in which they bring together custom lettering with an alternative, hand-produced technique really inspires me. The care and delicacy evident in each and every one of their tactile works instills each piece with an unparalleled energy. The idea of combining traditional practice with a unique, less-common process (in this particular field) provides a feeling of specialty and exclusivity to their work. 

In my own practice in the future I wish to explore hand-produced resolutions much more experimentally, as I believe they provide an extra dimension to work that cannot be parallel by purely digital produce.
