After years of a competition diet, I’ve created my latest visual output for the 2024 edition of the Tapirulan Illustrators Contest. It’s suitably called “Et Voilà”, answering the theme of “Voilà”. Voilà.
As for the thought process:
After discussing the meaning of “voilà” with my hairdresser – who really likes the French language – I made the connection between its most common meaning: “Voilà” as the result of a service.
I then blended this idea with a detailed journey of having a haircut. From arriving to the barber (with too much hair), chit-chatting about any subject (and mentally travelling to various places), to enjoying both the craft and the final result (with usually less hair and increased confidence).
Wrapping this up with a 30 seconds cut of 40+ hours of skills sharpening.
