What I love about good editorial illustrators is their ability to capture so much of a situation with so little – a single image.
Over the past week, I’ve been testing my own simplification skills and building up a new portfolio. Coming at art from this angle is refreshing after so much landscape painting. The process involves brainstorming a huge number of ideas, then cutting and combining until you’re left with something small, but so dense.
Here are the three illustrations I’ve finished so far:
No. 1 was tailored to this article on the junior Doctor strike:
No. 2: an article on the worth of visiting relatives with dementia, even if they can’t recognise you:
And lastly, No. 3: an article on woodland pre-schools:
More to come…

Your point of view caught my eye and was very interesting. Thanks. I have a question for you.
I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.
