Emphasizing the potential of color and contrast to create a sense of warmth and depth, figures bask in glowing interiors, and landscapes fade into the blue of distance.Taskers figures are often camouflaged or miniaturized by their towering surroundings, whether wandering among stacks of textiles or strolling through a grove of trees. Recently, Ive been enjoying playing with pattern, light and depth, she tells Colossal. Im always aiming for the balance of challenging my comfort zone while also staying true to my natural style.Illustration for Singing HolidaysWhile she cant yet divulge some of the exciting projects in the works for the coming year, Tasker is currently working on another illustration for Singing Holidays, which plans music-focused tours around Europe and elsewhere. She enjoys working with clients that provide open briefs and lend their full trust. For example, Singing Holidays gives her the space to really experiment with my work and create images that are mostly self initiated, while still having some parameters or starting points to work withinwhich is my favourite type of commission and when I feel most creative, she says.Prints and calendars are available in Taskers online shop, and you can explore more work on both her website and Instagram.Illustration for Good HousekeepingIllustration for Self Care For Winter by Suzy Reading, published by Octopus BooksIllustration for Singing HolidaysIllustration for Self Care For Winter by Suzy Reading, published by Octopus BooksIllustration for Singing HolidaysIllustration for Singing HolidaysIllustration for Singing HolidaysIllustration for Self Care For Winter by Suzy Reading, published by Octopus BooksNext article
