ANIMATED ILLUSTRATION

Mariokart: ready, set, go!

ILLUSTRATION: Gouache on Bristol paper

ANIMATION: Adobe After Effects

Feeling nostalgic about my childhood and my dad first introducing me to Mario Kart on the Nintendo DS, and now still playing it together on the Switch, I created this piece as a playful promotional short that celebrates that ongoing bond. It became an opportunity to further explore my interest in blending traditional and digital art, integrating hand-drawn elements with digital editing to form a dynamic hybrid aesthetic that feels personal to me. This joyful process reinforced how this mix of media is becoming central to my practice, and it is a direction I am committed to refining as a distinctive part of my style.
