Hello, my name is Laura Lin and I’m a designer & an illustrator

based in Northern Virginia. I enjoy taking the road less traveled, deep conversations, Murakami, and the sound of rain. Oh, and I am currently obsessed with responsive design (this site is 100% responsive). Now, tell me about yourself.

Painted Verses

Responsibility

Concept, Illustration

Year

2012

Description

Started in January of 2012, "Painted Verses" is a yearlong project in which I create one illustration, once a week based on biblical scriptures with the hope that the work will inspire and encourage those who chance upon them. The project was conceived when I was brainstorming how to combine the two utmost personally fulfilling activities in my life – creating art and making a difference in others’ lives. Though the idea is humble in size, I believe that big impact starts at an individual level. And that is the heart behind the project.
