I’m still here 👋🏼 In fact I have very much been ‘here’ working at Projects a co-working space I use. Genuinely love the community here and have made some great friends in recent months, going on runs, out for beers and comparing lunches. The salad game here is STRONG 🥬 Feels like I have work colleagues again and I’m so thankful for that as it’s the thing I miss most from the old 9-5.

Thanks for the 📸

Earlier this year I was contacted by the team at UCCF: The Christian Unions about creating an illustration based on Luke 23v13-25, which is about the time during the Jewish feast of Passover, where it was the Roman custom to release a prisoner on death row. Pilate suggests the release of Jesus, but the crowds scream for Barabbas’ release instead and call for Jesus to be crucified.

I’m not the best at reading and was nervous to begin with that I’d struggle to pull the key info out. So I made sure I gave myself a good chunk of time to read it through multiple times… and with multiple coffees.

In my head I began seeing all these opposing parallels coming through from the story that I wanted to capture in the illustration:
Dark / Light
Death / Life
Thorns / Plants
Rain / Sun
Bound / Free
~
I decided I wanted to design the illustration in one colour using negative space and areas of symmetry to highlight the opposing parallels.

I loved working on this and I’m so pleased with how it came out 🙏🏼

As much I genuinely love illustrating on an iPad, at times I defo need to scratch the itch of properly being hands on. I haven’t yet found my way in making this commercially viable, but I am making steps (albeit slowly 😅)

Anyway, here’s a linocut family portrait I created and used for Mother’s Day gifts.
