About the work:

In my “Psyche Sticker Mayhem” project, inspiration for the work came from my growing attachment to the Psyche character I created in my previous projects. To me, she became not just a figure to represent the spacecraft but instead represented the energy of the mission itself. I wanted to reflect the scientific character of the Psyche mission and a fun, approachable attitude that would appeal to a broader audience.

The stickers were meant to have Psyche-related phrases, such as “metal to the core,” which relates to the fact that (16) Psyche is a metal alloy asteroid thought to be the core of a planetesimal. I then drew my Psyche character playing an electric guitar with magnetic waves radiating off her. I also included unique materials for these stickers, such as applying a holographic effect for the magnetic waves. In another sticker with the Psyche character’s head and the words “Psyche out of your Mind,” I made half of her head the Psyche asteroid (her mind) have a metallic effect on the physical sticker

I used Procreate to create the artwork. After I finalized the designs, I printed out the stickers with the StickersApp website, ensuring the stickers were of high quality and ready for mass distribution.
