IZM: Day 22 Mandala

The prompt for my International Zine Month 2020: Zine A Day project for Day 22 was Mandala. For me, that meant using found images to improve my pattern-drawing skills… What is a Mandala? A Mandala is a circular illustration representing the universe as seen in Hindu and Buddhist symbolism. In their traditional form, Mandalas are circles […]

Illustration: Lana Brysys

Let me introduce you to Lana Brysys of The Trollflayers… I mean, we only actually flayed a troll one time, and mostly because Jhaan wanted to eat it, but the name kind of stuck.

IZM: Day 12 Pattern

Illustration: Maleficent

Animated Maleficent fits the traditional “crone” archetype perfectly. I was so enamoured with the recent re-telling of the Disney classic, where her character becomes relatable, and is given great depth. We see her develop from an innocent child, through a bitter betrayal, to become the “Mistress of Evil” that she is touted to be. Yet, […]

WE ARE THE MAGPIES

Gamora: My Pet Praying Mantis Illustration

Gamora is my pet Praying Mantis. She is a Giant Rainforest Mantis – Hierodula majuscula. Gamora is such an unusual and alien creature, and I adore having her as a part of my family, so I had to immortalise her short life in an illustration. I would love to know what you think of Gamora? […]
