I am Janice Park, and I am a freshman studying Computer Animation. It’s crazy that I can remember my childhood vividly whenever I see Dum Dum lollipops or Skittles. As a 19-year-old human, I honestly don’t enjoy sweets anymore, but I often find myself going back to a piece of candy whenever I feel nostalgic. As time passes, I experience more often bitter and sour situations, but it’s those sweet memories of my childhood that make me realize that there are sweet experiences to come. Thank you for this opportunity to share my piece! Instagram: @pwark.jpeg Jordan George Business of Art and Design ‘23 Youtube: JG2 Spotify: Jordan George Website: jordangeorge.weebly.com 55

I’m Marie Biernacki, an Illustration junior at Ringling College of Art and Design. I have always loved art since I was a kid — whether I was making messy crayon doodles or singing horribly off-key, creating art in any capacity was (and still is) a major part of my life. I often draw inspiration from music, poetry, and emotions. My ultimate goal is to emotionally impact my audience with my illustrations — you can find my works here on Instagram or on my portfolio website!

Olivia DeCaigny Illustration ‘22 I am a Junior in Illustration and love to draw kids with big eyes in bright colors. A lot of my inspiration I get from childhood photos, early 2000s nostalgia, and artists like Margaret Keane, Mark Ryden, Camilla d’Errico, and Mab Graves. Instagram: LivsBigEyes Portfolio: oliviadecaigny.crevado.com Paige Davianv Illustration ‘22 Hello! I’m Paige Davian, a true child at heart.

Instagram: @shnooky6 Website: Artofraphael.pb.studio Reed Schueler Entertainment Design ‘23 Hi, my name is Reed Schueler, I am a Entertainment Design major and Zine fanatic. Just because of their freedom and accessibility to anyone who has something to share! I would encourage anyone reading this to USE THIS ZINE! No matter what medium, major or skill! Also, be kind to yourself and don’t worry away this year, that’s a constant reminder to others as well as myself! Enjoy Ringling and the beauty of life around you everyday! Personally, that’s what I’ve put on as my identity in this strange time, just an enjoyer of the world. So, yeah! That is MY BIO! Instagram: @indyartwiz Sophia Bonaccorsi Motion Design ‘24 Hi! I’m Sophia and I am a Freshman Motion Design student and I am also minoring in Visual Development. When I create art I usually like it to either be bright, bubbly and fun or I like it to be creepy, whimsical, and moody. I guess you could say I am a bit all over the place! I just love to experiment with new concepts and methods! Instagram: @sophiesketching 57
Syd Ritsema Illustration ‘23 Hey guys! I’m Syd, a non-binary artist from middle of nowhere Illinois! Literally there are just corn and bean fields around me,,, and a Bunch of churches. I guess that’s why it was so hard for me to be myself in a true sense. Small towns are hard, everyone knows you, it feels like you are constantly under a microscope. So when I think about my childhood, I think about a lot of those restrictions. The thing that got me through a lot of turmoil was art, through sports and school and my town, turning to my crayons and printer paper was how I coped. Anyways, that’s a bit about me and my piece, I’ve got a lot of other cool stuff on my instagram and my website. Tse Jen Vivian Tan Game Art ‘24 Vivian Tan would be a sophomore in Computer Animation, but instead she took a gap year AND transferred major so now she watches JDramas to fill in spare time that would otherwise be spent playing with her cats, gaming, or feeling very lost. She holds a (self-proclaimed) record of being a 99% introvert on the online Myers Briggs test and has yet to break it. As such, she is more-than-a-bit shy but if you are interested in non-food related art rest assured there is plenty of inconsistency on her instagram. She hopes you had a good day today! :) Instagram: @itsantlerhead Wren Sullivan Visual Studies ‘23 Hello! I’m Wren. I’m a Visual Studies sophomore. I love digital art like drawing and sculpting. I draw my inspiration from everywhere to make exciting characters and scenes. Instagram: @rosebirdd Twitter: @rosebirdds Website: wrenskye.com 58
