Vanity Fair

I made one illustration a week for Vanity Fair. It was challenging to come up with fresh concepts every week, and the theme of the column, ranging from matters of the heart and relationships did not make the task easier. As I look to the aggregate I’m grateful to have had the chance to dive into this project.

Why settling down is so hard?
I have nosocomephobia.

I still hear my mother screams.
Will we be meeting again?

I will never fix my broken heart again.

He is never there.
