Bread-and-Butter-V1--ArtistEdition-LowRe

MICHELLE THOMPSON

My Bread and Butter is the joy of getting lost in drawing, whether by hand or working digitally - or both. It is an escape from the stress of everyday life – a chance to make something beautiful, or simple, or completely insane!

Illustrating is an extremely meditative practice for me – sitting down with a coffee and a sweet, and working away to music or a podcast, provides a sense of contentment and pleasure.

I want to reflect the broad human experience in my illustrations – both the uncertainty and frailty of being alive, but also the exciting and pleasant aspects.
