FISH OUTTA WATER

Meet Puff and Gill. 

They’re fish struggling to adjust to life outta water (now that they’ve grown legs). 

I conceived of this sticker pack for Messenger and Messenger Kids, teaming up with a talented team of creatives bringing these lovable bipedal fish to life.

Why fish with legs?

We are living through an awkward time. 

Should we go back to the office or work from home? Should we wear masks in the the grocery store or take the risk? Can my kids go to school today, or is there another outbreak of cases?

As we flail around, adjusting to “normal” life, we don’t always know what to do with ourselves. We are all stumbling through it.

Sketches to color studies

Before the sticker pack is ready for release, we test them on device and make sure the designs are looking sharp! It’s exciting to see them out in the world, living their awkward fish lives.
