The Witch.
A few years back I did a series of illustrations for a one-off publication called Gaslit and Gruesome where I had to draw Anya Taylor-Joy as Thomasin from Robert Eggers 2015 chiller The Witch and to be honest that illustration has bugged me since as I felt that I didn't really get her 'right' at the time.
Well I've had some free time so I tried again.
Better late than never!

The Lives of Children and Adolescents with Disabilities.
A great way to round off the year, just found out that the latest book I did the illustrations for - The Lives of Children and Adolescents with Disabilities (edited By Angharad E. Beckett, Anne-Marie Callus) - is published on January 4th 2024 so here's a sneak peek alongside artwork for Dr Miro Griffiths' research project into young disabled people's experience of Assistive Technology - companion pieces of sorts to the work for the Routledge International Handbook of Children's Rights & Disability.
