My Work
Introducing the most down to earth crew this side of the milky way, I Heart Earth Friends! These brightly colored cuties have one mission, to spread love worldwide. Catch these sweet hearts stopping to smell the roses, picnicking by a stream, and being one with nature. Collect them all and complete the friend group!Emma Southard is a multidisciplinary artist and designer from Stevensville, Michigan. In this project, She attempts to bring her illustration into a physical, marketable space. She has a passion for knickknacks and collectibles so it has been a dream come true for her to explore the world of I Heart Earth Friends. Through this process she learned to 3D model, 3D print, create her own packaging design, and take a laser cutter for a test drive. She hopes that her passion for the process and for these sweet characters endears you and that you can immerse yourself in the narrative being spun. In her opinion, illustration works best when it elicits a smile.
Hi there!
My name is Emma Southard and I am an illustrator and designer from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I am inspired by my friends, antique stores, and Lake Michigan. The biggest thing I strive for in my practice is to experiment with new and varied techniques to create engaging results. I am always looking for a new perspective and I live to learn. Let's work together and inspire each other!
