Sara Fanelli 

Illustrator

I was drawn to Sara Fanelli's work by the beautifully naive and childlike way in which she draws her fun and quirky characters. 

I also love the colour palette she uses, incorporating a mix of neutral and earthy tones with a few splashes of bolder colours. The way she draws on grounds such as line and graph paper also makes her work interesting as it adds depth and another dimension.

Fanelli's illustrations have been used by a range of popular companies including penguin books, Pizza Express and the Royal Mail, but one of her main audiences are children as she is also an imaginative and unique story teller. Her most popular pieces of work include her own children's story books such as The Onion's Great Escape and Sometimes I think, sometimes I am as well as illustrating many other books. Each of her drawings effortlessly tell a story by incorporating subtle and simple forms of typography as narrative, making her pieces interesting and effective.
