EMERGING… HATTIE STEWART When did you first start illustrating? It looks like heavily bastardised classroom doodles. What or who tends inspires your creative process?
The first was copying the characters in the Beano and Dandy comics, especially Beryl The Peril. The “illustration” label came at a later date—my only understanding was of fashion illustration and wanting to be a fashion illustrator in year nine at school! I’ve always been a doodler and have loved drawing from a young age, I never grew out of it, it just grew itself. Bastardised! Haha! I like that word. My work has always had dark undertones, I guess. I like it that way, keeps it interesting and stops it from ever getting “cute”.
