Drawing inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights, the composition weaves together references to Black Rock City, kink culture, sensory play and the natural world, alongside nods to iconic works including Francisco de Goya's La Maja Desnuda. Much like Bosch's celebrated triptych, the piece rewards close inspection, with interconnected scenes and hidden details gradually revealing themselves.

Sophie's character-focused illustrations tap into the human experience beautifully. Her images are always full of narrative, and she is able to elevate the relationship between word and image with her considered use of line, colour and scene building.

A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey

A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks)

 

Hannah Bailey was commissioned to illustrate some gigantic murals by the Star of the Republic Museum, Texas. Read on to find out how she approached this mammoth task, complete with life sized chickens!

A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks) A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks) A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks)

"I was absolutely delighted to be asked to illustrate a set of murals for the Star of the Republic Museum, Washington-on-the-Brazos, Texas - a big moment in my career in more ways than one! This was my first mural and a whopper, my illustrations covering the length of 2 x 14m long walls inside the family gallery.

A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks)

It was a huge challenge to scale up my work, calling for my rusty maths skills, a big scanner, huge brushes and some giant tracing paper. I loved the chance to create big textures and splash the ink around. To give an idea of the proportions - the chickens in the mural are lifesize!

A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks) A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks) A Mighty Mural, by Hannah Bailey (illustrator, The Artworks)

To make sense of the huge space, I broke it down into lots of scenes, and joined them all up. From one end to the other, the mural shows a 19th century Texas landscape, moving from farmers cottages and livestock to a market town with stores, carts and stalls, and an old well. I wanted to capture the essence of the townspeople through their bits and bobs - as if they had put down their things and gone inside for lunch.
