I have a south-facing apartment and love the light throughout the day. It's especially great for all my plants!

We chat to #FeaturedMember Chikjade_Design in Delaware who loves sewing and making handbags.

How did you find CO+K and why did you join?

I found CO+K by searching for easy patterns to see when I was first starting to get into sewing hardcore. I joined because it was a social network of like minded people who love to create and share.


What projects are you currently working on?

I run a business, so I'm always designing new handbags. I recently started making wallets, which was a learning curve for me. Took me awhile before I developed my skills to a point where I would be confident sending it to a customer, but I've been able to get there. I'm my toughest critic, so if I'm happy I know others will be too.


My name is Apollo and I’m a British/Russian high school student and illustrator living in the UK. This year, I'm applying to study Animation at uni, so we'll see how that goes.
In my spare time I enjoy playing Dungeons and Dragons and listening to podcasts, both of which are my biggest inspirations. I love having a story behind my work, so drawing things from my D&D campaigns is very rewarding for me.

As someone who wants to go into animation, I enjoy drawing my characters in exaggerated poses or with a wide variety of face expressions - currently, my favourite subject matter is goblins, because their faces are so expressive and fun to play around with. I also love character design, and making characters who are very distinct from one another is always a fun challenge.

I'm most active on my instagram, where I post daily, so check it out if you want to see more of my work (@apollinares).
