The illustrations are full of playful movement and theatrical flair, making them perfect focal points or layered accents for circus-themed spreads, carnival-inspired art, or music- and performance-based journal pages.
The vibrant colors and expressive poses also make this ephemera ideal for storytelling spreads in art journals, especially those centered around joy, creativity, or nostalgia.
