New Scientist Editorial Illustration

A collection of the illustrations I created for New Scientist on quitting. Visualised themes of burnout, overwork and the cultural obsession with productivity.

The artwork contrasts chaotic, goal-driven behaviour with moments of pause, clarity and stepping away.
