YO: "I received this project through my agent, Gerald & Cullen Rapp in NY. I was told that the theme is about commemorating Cinco de Mayo, and I was asked to create an image that pays homage to tequila, the beverage that reigns victorious every year on May 5th.

DA: How did you decide on the colour palette for the piece?

YO: "To unify the image, we decided to use some warm colours on the right side and cool colour on the left side so that the colour scheme matched with each bottle."

DA: What did you want to convey with your drawing of the woman?

YO: "The client wanted to show a representation of pride, victory, joy and strength through the female figure. I tried to pay close attention to her posture, clothing and expression to represent all of their ideas together."
