Chrissy Lau's vibrant design, "Lucky 8 Snakes on a Train," transforms Sydney’s light rail into a moving celebration of the Year of the Wood Snake 2025.

Commissioned by the City of Sydney, Chrissy's artwork blesses passengers with prosperity, perseverance, and good fortune, weaving together auspicious symbols and colours.

The snakes, adorned with plum blossoms, orchids, and chrysanthemum, represent longevity and prosperity, while the peony flowers symbolise wealth. Gold coins, ingots, and lunar lanterns with lucky longevity knots complete the composition, set against a backdrop of clouds.

The project involved crafting a series of humorous, mugshot-style portraits for 24 different chicken breeds, each with its own distinct personality. Research into the breeds and collaboration with the client helped shape the characters, ensuring their traits were visually compelling and integral to the gameplay.

Camila Gray weaves wintry magic into the cover of this festive novel.

Camila's enchanting cover for The Secret Christmas Bookshop captures the cosy magic of a wintry seaside village.

Commissioned by HarperCollins, her illustration sets the perfect scene for this festive tale of romance and mystery, where snow-dusted rooftops and twinkling lights frame a story about unexpected connections.

The soft hues and delicate details draw readers into Sophie and Harry’s world, where a mysterious book sparks a journey that blurs the lines between fiction and reality. It’s a cover that feels as warm and inviting as the story within.
