Olivia Twist
Art of Protest

Children's Publishing

Commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
This work was commissioned by Big Picture Press who were looking for 5 different artists from around the world to come together to create a book about protest art.

How was the illustration used:
Each spread was briefed by the publisher to make a book.

How did you make this work:
The essence of the book was to explore artistic freedoms and identities, and so we wanted to show a range of styles in the book to empower readers to try something that works for them. Each artist was commissioned because they work with a variety of mediums. Olivia Twist’s bold lines and limited palette created a different impact.
