It’s a strange thing, timing. It creates connections between things that you don’t see coming. 24 hours apart this week, a long-term friend died at the barely-halfway age of 49, while my illustrations for an article on female longevity, starring an 80-year-old model, hit the shelves 🙂
As I sketched away on this lady, I didn’t know those two events would become intertwined in an interesting way, creating a picture of two lives well-lived: one short but *epic* career (Andrea) and a long series of much shorter ones (Lina).
This was an unusually hands-on job, travelling to the studio with a make-up bag and a sketchbook to draw the ‘tattoos’ on site. They were photographed as we went along and dropped straight into the cover for review. Lina was perfectly composed and professional throughout, considering she stood the whole time in just a bikini!
