MECA elves

Once again, Maine College of Art is holding their annual Holiday Sale!

My junior illustration majors have nimbly lept from working on Summer Ale packaging to the Holiday Sale project, in which they are making illustrated products to sell at the Illustration Showcase table, located on the 3rd floor, right outside the elevator.

Taylor Mirabito has her lovely cards all wrapped up.

And she’s busy assembling her Nutcracker ornaments.

Jesenia Santana‘s got a series of playful cards.

Ashley Palmer is adding final touches to delicate watercolors.

Senior Dee Weigand is felting up some mushrooms, too.

Abbie Masso is silkscreen printing and stitching sleepy foxes for the perfect winter bag.

Senior Anabelle Souza has silkscreen printed a pair of pets with cozy sweaters, take your pick!

Shop co-manager Catherine Bates asked everyone to drop off their inventory here.

Courtney Labbe is making a set of “Swamp Puppy” key chains.

Coral Howe is crafting a limited edition set of Ratty Tats, temporary tattoos in her inky style.

Test run!

And for the tattoo tribe, Sophia Cangelosi has a 2015 calendar!

Plenty more is still in feverish production as MECA elves get ready for 5 PM tonight. Come shop for gifts you won’t find anywhere else!
