Hannah Welch



Hannah chose to illustrate a series of passages from a trilogy of Vampire books. They told the tale of an earth populated by vampires and humans and a third group who, whilst human would soon to become vampires. This group were followed by a tracker who acted as a guardian. Hannah's interest in these books runs deep and she wanted to give expression to this in her illustrations. For the final show the artwork was reduced quite dramatically in scale and incorporated in a book layout. This gave more of a sense of how they would work in a published context. As always, Hannah's use of line has a real elegance.
