Every illustration tells a story of hand and heart

A look at the patient, handcrafted process behind Dana’s atmospheric visual worlds.

Every illustration tells a story of hand and heart

An illustration does not begin with colour, but with looking and feeling. Dana searches for a character's posture, the rhythm of the composition and the small detail that makes a scene believable.

Pencil lines remain a visible part of the process. They bring warmth to the image and remind us that every character began by hand on paper.
