Evie Hercun

I'm Evie, and I'm an Illustrator from Sheffield. I have always been enticed by the diverse appearances and natures of animals, and I love to draw them in my geometric style. I'm particularly interested in using illustration and design to educate a young audience in a fun way. In my MA final project, I worked for a charity called Chum, and created a picture book for children with cancer, called Tangle. Tangle explains how cancer treatment works using a visual metaphor - tangled up wool - to represent a tumour. Luis the knitted lion is energetic and cheerful, until a tangle grows in his body and makes him very ill! I hope to pursue more narrative and animal focused work in the future.
