HENNIE HAWORTH

Hennie Haworth is a freelance illustrator based in London. Her illustrations have a kind of naïve quality to them which is very much popular at the moment. I think what takes her work to the next level is that she places many of her illustrations together to form what she calls ‘diagrams’. Some of these show made up machines, which look like children’s projects.
I like the way that her images show how some of these things are linked together to create these ‘diagrams’ and often they show and emphasise movement within these. I think the way that some of these images appear to be half finished again support this idea of movement, as if they have been created quickly to show something as fast.

I like the science element to the images, but how the style detracts a little from this and make them more playful. I also like the colours used and the textures created by the media chosen to draw the images.
