I created two custom illustrations for Issue 8 of Grass Fires Magazine, to accompany their feature interview with Tilly Lawless discussing the 2021 publication of her book, Nothing But My Body.
These illustrations were created using ballpoint pen on paper before being translated to digital for final touches and preparation for print.
The illustrations depict Tilly in portrait format, inspired by the promotional image that accompanied her publication announcement and a snapshot style image of her wading naked into the ocean. They aim to capture the author’s boldness, strength, freedom and confidence.
