“It’s done when you can touch it”: Lizzy Stewart on the hundreds of drawings and writing-on-a-whim that goes into illustrated novels
Illustrator, writer and teacher Lizzy Stewart took to April’s Nicer Tuesdays stage in London to talk about her creative journey. From being featured on CBeebies with her hit book There’s a Tiger in the Garden (read by Tom Hardy!) to creating comic books for adults, like her new graphic novel The Wreck, a story that touches upon themes of love, envy and friendship in middle-aged adulthood. Thanks to EartH (Evolutionary Arts Hackney).
