Moon­al­ice poster by Wendy Wright

Accord­ing to Moon­al­ice leg­end, today’s poster by Wendy Wright depicts Trum­pette Moon­al­ice, a matri­arch whose flow­ery greet­ings bring cheer each year to the Moon­al­ice tribe. Here’s a tip: every sum­mer at the sol­stice, Trum­pette puts on a huge party in which she cov­ers her­self with poster art and waits to see if any­one would notice. Any­one who fig­ures it out get a free poster! Given that today is the sol­stice, it’s pos­si­ble Trum­pette is hid­ing among us now. Keep your eyes peeled!!!

“The inspi­ra­tion came from the Trum­pet flower trees in Union Square. I love draw­ing flow­ers and at the last Moon­al­ice show in Union Square, I spot­ted these beau­ti­ful trees. I was deeply inspired by them and started form­ing ideas in my head for my poster, (as I was sched­uled to do the next Moon­al­ice Union Square Live poster). I have had a recent fas­ci­na­tion with hum­ming­birds and had to include one. I love draw­ing all my let­ter­ing by hand and mak­ing it part of the illus­tra­tion. I feel this aspect is really impor­tant and can really make the piece.” (Wendy Wright — artist)
