After reading the book (which is incredible by the way, if you haven’t ready it, please do… but full disclaimer, it’s a tear-jerker!), I decided I wanted to keep the illustration as minimal as possible to replicate Conor’s isolation. I thought the yew tree played such a symbolic part throughout the book (and is technically the monster anyway) that I just had to find a way of getting it in there too. I used a mix of materials: Oil paint for Conor’s body – simply with a sponge, chalk pastels for the yew tree, water colour for the sky and dip-dye in water based paint for the bottom.
