She Holds a Cosmos

She Holds a Cosmos

Sometimes life and work run parallel in borderline hilarious ways. During the sleepless haze of early motherhood I got the opportunity to illustrate a book of poems about motherhood for Chronicle Books. There’s nothing like being awake at 3am and longing for sleep and using that time to think about how to illustrate a mother longing for sleep. I genuinely cannot really remember doing any of these drawings but it’s one of my favourite projects to date.
