Becca Thorne – Illustrator of The Week

Our featured illustrator this week is the brilliant Becca Thorne, our lino printing specialist. Becca has developed a method of lino printing that uses water-based inks. First she prints onto fine, handmade paper (Thai mulberry paper or similar), then rubs the image through using the back of a spoon. This gives her greater control over the textures and tones in a print compared to using a press. The results are fantastically lo-fi images that ooze rustic charm.

To kick off our week long celebration of Becca’s work, here’s an image she recently created for the Draw Serge blog. We’ll be bringing you more new work all week.
