The Scaries is a collaboration between illustrator LeeAndra Cianci and graphic designer Nicola Hamilton. As commercial artists, our mandate is to translate our client’s visions into the tangible, to amplify their voices, and to communicate their messaging. Acting as translators, over time, can render us out of sorts with our own unique styles, processes and instincts. Combine that with the hyper-connected age we’re living in—where we’re constantly comparing ourselves to our peers—and that’s a recipe for some serious self-doubt. The Scaries is an exploration of the emotional realities of making work and the emotional turmoil the process inflicts upon us.
