Interview with illustrators MaricorMaricar

I’m extremely excited to start the week with the super talented sister duo Maricor/Maricar. Their work includes design, animation, online and beautiful embroidery.

With Maricar’s background in graphic design and print, and Maricor’s focus on video and online, they’ve merged together to create projects which are a fantastic mix of their talents. Their projects include embroidered custom typography such as the images featured in this article, and the stop motion animation in the video below.

After a few years in different design studios, the pair were inspired to take the leap to focus on their personal work after a trip to Japan together. Their big turning point was winning the British Council’s Realise Your Dream award which allowed them to travel to the UK, make contacts and further their education in their specialist fields.

Maricor and Maricar now share their time between Sydney and London – and at the moment are packing up to head home after spending most of the year in London. They are represented by Handsome Frank illustration agency.

The girls explained that they are certainly most happiest when keeping their hands busy, so they love finally sitting down to set needle to fabric. And it shows. Just have a look through their website or blog and there’s oodles of projects with all types of creations and applications.

Check out one of their stop motion animation for the Big Green Idea below…
