Lauren Rolwing's pencil-themed illustrations catalogue her daily routine

Date
30 July 2015

Lauren Rolwing’s series of illustrations exploring the work/life balance are pared back but punchy. Commissioned by Wrap magazine for their 11th issue, Lauren uses a pencil to represent illustration and imagines the various ways in which the practise manifests itself in her daily routine. Appearing as a lead-laden toothbrush, a rigid arm for a pair of glasses and nib-topped straw, Lauren’s style is clean, fresh and uncomplicated. The simple treatment of her ideas allows their cleverness to shine through, creating a set of images that are strong both on their own and as a collection.
