Sketches for Stamp Designs
Elephant
Hanuman - The monkey king, An important character in Asian folklore.
A musical instrument from Cambodia.
Jayavarman was a king back in the founding of Cambodia. I wanted to show this face of a statue erected all throughout Cambodia because they are the largest, oldest and iconic sculptures in Khmer history.
Cambodian stamp designs, again mixing my cultural background with American aspects. I wanted to reference the old line art style of Ancient Khmer art to make these stamps look rustic, and the color and type makes them more modern and easier to read. One hard thing about this project was how we had to condense important aspects of our culture only into 4 pieces. I chose to depict Agriculture, Entertainment, Music, and History.
