Girl in Tunnel, Owain Thomas
Oil mix on paper
I am an illustrator, whose work attempts to explore the relationship between fiction and reality. My personal work deals with narratives, involving very real subjects taken from existing narratives and news stories.
These I paint and draw, as well as creating and illustrating my own stories and characters. I like the idea that as an illustrative journalist I am able to tell and re-tell the stories I find all around me every day.
My final project is a children’s story based on my own fears for the future and that of the world changing for the worst.
