love is hearty ♡ original
love is heart in your hands.
books generally have two title pages. the first title page has only the title. the second title page has the title plus the author's name. this drawing accompanies the second title in love is.
the original drawing from the love is. book is now available - the one and only hand drawn by dee kawai tang in her home studio the shack through the covid years. initial sketches were completed in 2020 with final illustrations completed in 2021.
dee's approach to colouring was to remain naive and intuitive. tuning into a child-like presence allowed space for a colour scheme to emerge naturally and resulted in these colour driven artworks.
