This artwork is part of the "Summer of Max" collection, where I invited fans of Max to share with me their stories, interests, and aspirations—which I then used as inspiration for building Max's world.
This piece was inspired by the bond of friendship, family, and community—represented by the warmth of fire.
In this piece, Max and his animal friends have gathered to sing, drink hot cocoa and boba tea, relax, and even sleep without worry.
