Editorial illustration for the L.A. Times
In this intimate and symbolic illustration, the writer and her girlfriend sit closely together, wrapped in a large, cozy blanket. The blanket is shaped like a Los Angeles freeway, snaking gently around them. Embedded in the blanket’s surface are small, embroidered icons from their romantic journey: a freeway and popcorn kernels from movie dates. This illustration is about the warmth and softness that love, and being seen, can bring, even in a city as chaotic as L.A.
