Miss Lizzie for Swerve

Final
Pattern detail
Process sketch
This is a recent illustration I did for Swerve Magazine. Danae Thompson is art director there, and has a knack for assigning subject matter that is pretty interesting for me. A couple of weeks ago she emailed me with an assignment about a woman who is fascinated by the Lizzie Borden axe murder story. My image solution involved a reconstruction of sorts, using the evidence and the crime scene. I designed a Lizzie themed pattern to stand in for the Victorian wallpaper. For the portrait, I wanted to capture a ghostly expression. We decided to crop out the figure looking into the mirror to add to the ghostliness factor.
- I Like it.
