Spanish Steps, Vinyl Print Hand Drawn Illustrations, 2022
Winter's Wander is formed of 12 individual illustrations that, when connected and admired as a whole, tell a story of togetherness. Choosing elements of the season that are positive, Tilly aka Running For Crayons wanted to create a sense of fun and excitement with families and friends - all celebrating the season but most importantly being together. Winter for some can often be seen as bleak, so the artwork was created with a palette of warm and cheerful tones, mixing traditional winter creatures with unexpected additions to add a playful charm and sense of inclusivity. Using imagery such as a hog hurtling down the ski slopes, a tiger making friends with a snowman, and a pair of cats finding comfort snoozing on a hibernating bear, Winter's Wander shows have connections really can be formed between the most unlikely of friends!
