"hearts" — written & illustrated by mya bailey

thrilled to announce the completion of my bfa degree in illustration at the milwaukee insitute of art & design with my
senior year thesis: "hearts". as for now, the book will be up for pre-order. below are some chosen spreads.

this 32 page children book is based on my childhood stuffed animal, hearts, that I was gifted around the age of 6 back in 2007 (estimated) by my grandmother. a true project of love for me. this story is told from the point of view of a childhood stuffed animal
as it grows old beside its owner, reflecting on how far they’ve come together and the marks that show it.

note: these next few pages & spreads are chosen at random. these are not the order in which they are told in the story. feel free to hear the full story read at the link above!
