Limited Edition of 40
A3 (29.7 × 42cm) with a cut edge
Lily is an illustrator and comic artist based in Norwich, UK. She draws primarily with brush and ink, adding colour digitally. Since graduating in 2018, she's worked on projects spanning editorial illustration to book illustration to album and merch design. Her passion lies in narrative work and comics, publishing her debut comic "Gristle" in 2021 with Shortbox.
Plants and biophilia are consistent themes throughout her work, often taking over industrial spaces or working in symbiosis with human bodies. The concept of nature's reckoning - plants pushing back against their destruction in the constant and persisting industrialisation of earth - features heavily in her artwork, either in beautiful, illustrative print work or surreal body horror.
