Stavit Allweis, asked me to contribute illustrations for her graphic novel, Isness.
It’s a bold, uninhibited graphic novel about a post-apocalyptic family, integrating live action photos with detail-drenched miniature environments.
She has dedicated years of her life to chronically working this project. It’s HUGE. I paid a visit to her studio & saw the diorama in real life. The details are astounding! She makes miniature sets, then photographically shoots them, then adds the actors into each scene-there are so many facets to each of environments. It was inspiring.
The watercolors that follow are to be placed within the novel, as illustrations. They were a treat to make. Thank you Stavit!
