FANCL X Sunny Gu for FANCL's 35th Anniversary : Sunflower

Fancl just released the latest packaging design to celebrate the brand's 35th Anniversary. Inspired by the cheerful Sunflower, this design was used as the brand's limited edition makeup cleaner oil packaging.

Third collection of our collaboration series : Sunflower

Sunflower: means warmth, happiness, loyalty, longing and adoration.

This is my favorite flower! I was beyond excited when I learned I get to paint sunflowers! The design only has a single sunflower, and that’s all we need. With its flower petals illuminates bright yellow rays of sunshine, a single sunflower is necessary to make a bold statement. The girl is holding a sunflower, her face radiates with joy and warmth, inviting you to share her happiness.

Wishing you a very happy summer day!

Crazy 4 Cult:4

Here's my contribution to Crazy 4 Cult:

.

Name:.....The Sunflower Lady and the Wild Daisy Boy

Size:........13"x19"(without frame)

...............21"x25.5"(framed)

Medium:..Watercolor

Cult film:..Harold and Maude

.

I was inspired by this dialogue between Harold and Maude:

.

Maude: I should like to change into a sunflower most of all. They're so tall and simple. What flower would you like to be?

Harold: I don't know. One of these, maybe.

Maude: Why do you say that?

Harold: Because they're all alike.

Maude: Oooh, but they're *not*. Look. See, some are smaller, some are fatter, some grow to the left, some to the right, some even have lost some petals. All *kinds* of observable differences. You see, Harold, I feel that much of the world's sorrow comes from people who are *this*,[she points to a daisy]

Maude: yet allow themselves be treated as *that*.[she gestures to a field of daisies]

.
