Here's an illustration that I created for the Living the Word column in a recent issue of Sojourners magazine. Three men, residents of a homeless shelter, were mentioned in the column. In my illustration, light surrounding them proclaims their human dignity and echoes the Transfiguration, as understood by the author. The echoes of the icon of the Holy Trinity by Rubleyev, and to the Eucharist, add subtle layers of meaning. (Copyright 2008 by Julie Lonneman)
Today I completed this portrait of Dorothy Day, drawing it with a Wacom tablet in Photoshop. It's very unusual for me to create something completely digital from start to finish. In general I prefer to work manually, but using the computer seemed the best way to deal with the complexity of this illustration. (Image copyright 2009 by Julie Lonneman)
