Illustration, much like any visual expression, is rarely just a bunch of visual information – it also includes a story to be experienced and interpreted through our own psyche.
Tom Booth is an illustrator who creates beautiful storytelling series of images that will captivate anyone’s heart. Booth works with various types of media to create these emotionally driven images, but most often he uses digital drawing and painting. The illustration we love the most is the one that is about a woodworker who lost the love of his life, and it’s showing his process of grieving.
Nevertheless, all of his images are fueled with raw emotion, and we doubt that they will leave you indifferent. Since the illustrations are still in development, the artist doesn’t want to reveal any details except that it’s a story about loss.
Booth says that what inspired him the most are illustrations that tell stories through smart and witty design. For him, illustrating is a tool for communicating ideas and emotions and a mean of self-expression.
Scroll down to dive into some pieces of Booth’s poignant and emotional story about the woodworker, but only if you feel ready to experience some intense and deep emotions on that journey.
