It’s a new month, so it’s another iteration of the Header Picture Project! June’s illustration was created by the lovely Melissa Chaib, whose work I’ve featured on Brown Paper Bag before. I think she created a super fun and colorful image that perfectly captures the magic of summer.
You can own a gorgeous mini 4″ x 6″ print of this work for only $8!
Here’s a short interview I conducted with Melissa about her work. Thanks, Melissa!

What was your dream job when you were 7 years old? I don’t remember actually, but I’ve always been into creating things, as far back as I can remember.
Your profession now: Graphic Designer & Illustrator
What’s your favorite thing to draw? Women going on adventures
What was the inspiration for this piece? I think life in general was my biggest influence
our journey exploring and seeking answers to the many doubts that rise up in our everyday life with the curious feeling that there is more than we have been told to believe.
How did you create your illustration? Was it any different than your regular process? It was really exciting to collaborate with a blog that I admire so much
I always want to push myself with every project and make sure I am learning something new along the way.
I tried out different ideas and layouts, created a mood board with image references and colours.
Which place would you go to on this block? I think I’d get my nails done. Me too, and then I could seriously go for a huge chocolate cake across the street. Yup.
