bookshop I stumble upon and I’m straight in there on the hunt!
u SB Do you keep a scrapbook? Zoe: I keep a scrap box, which I
delve into for ideas every so often. A wall in my studio seems to
act as scrapbook of sorts. u SB Tell us about a favourite project
you’ve recently completed. Zoe: I’ve been working on a series of
drawings based around my favourite places in the world. From
Spitalfields to Greenwich Village, I’ve combined all elements big
and small into intricate illustrations. u SB What would be your
dream commission? Zoe: There are too many to name just one,
but I’d love it illustrate for Penguin. u SB Who are your design
heroes? Zoe: I love drawing old buildings. The more intricate and
decorative the better, so I suppose the architects of the 18th and
19th Century. u SB If you could travel back in time which period
would you visit & why? Zoe: The late 60’s/early 70’s. I think it
was an era almost ahead of the time we live in now. Everything
was individual and interesting without being a format, which
often seems to be how we live now. u SB Who would you like to
have as your muse if your were painting their portrait? Zoe: John
Hurt has such a fascinating face, I think he’d be my ideal subject.
