Dose Pictures is an award-winning, full-service creative studio located in Chicago. This year, they wanted to warm up their drawing hands for the holidays. The Holiday Dreams Project was created in collaboration with Green Star Movement, a nonprofit that inspires students and community through the creation of public art. Their work has provided more than 7,000 students with mural arts programs, and brightened over 70 public space across Chicago—giving residents a renewed sense of pride in their neighborhood.

Dose provided fun narratives to GSM artists like, "If you could build any kind of gingerbread house, what would it look like?" or "Design your most epic snow fort!" Inspired by their creations, Dose artists then reimagined their holiday-themed art to create a set of 5 unique holiday greeting cards—each using a different style and production technique. The goal was to capture the imagination of the children’s art, get creative, and give back to the community.

Holiday Dreams followed the global drawing challenge Inktober. Each day in October, artists in Dose created a new drawing. These works are then sold and the proceeds are donated to Chicagoland families and charity organizations.

Below are the original student images alongside the professional renderings. Each artist wanted to share their thoughts on the inspiration on creating the artwork. Please enjoy!

The cards will be available for purchase at The Bridgeport Art Center Holiday Night Market.
