For Illustrated Friday today, I received some one-liner submissions and picked one I liked. My favorite phrase is from the fabulous Adelene of Gula-gula, a luscious line of handmade chocolate liqueur truffles in Australia! Check out her facebook page here, you’ll want to order them all. Adelene is no ordinary chocolatier and wants her line of truffles to someday reflect that.
” I think it’s the chocolate. You want to be good but you can’t. ” -gula-gula
She is a self-acknowledged walking contradiction-a hopeless romantic with a unique touch of sassy and edgy thrown in. In her vision, Gula-gula is fun, almost fantasy and carnival-like, luxurious yet not inaccessible, naughty AND nice, vintage but twisted. These are a bunch of quick conceptual sketches that I drew up for a logo that would capture its spirit.
