Mellon Collie was one of the first covers I wanted to design for my MaryOska Vinyl Advent. From 2021 to today, every December for 24 days I’ve published 24 iconic Maryoska-style covers. MaryOska is the cartoon version of me; I combined my nickname, Mary, with my passion for dolls. Then Mellon Collie accompanied me on my summer exhibitions. It’s among my most beloved covers because it was the last cover I designed in December 2021 before my father passed away a week later.
