Brief :
I was commissioned to create illustrations for "Water Wars," an article written by Davon D. E. Hatchett for Full Pour Magazine. The story explores the critical issues surrounding water rights, the economics of agriculture, and the farmers who work tirelessly to produce the wine we enjoy. It examines the complex relationships between natural resources, sustainability, and human ambition, while also offering ideas for a better path forward.
The theme really spoke to me. Working on a story about supporting farmers, sustainable food practices, and protecting the environment felt meaningful and important. It was an honor to create artwork that could help bring such a powerful message to life.
Final Images
The illustrations I created aim to highlight the delicate balance between nature and the challenges humans face. I wanted to capture both the vulnerability of our environment and the strength of those working to protect it. This project gave me the opportunity to tell a story of both struggle and hope.
These illustrations were created using Adobe Photoshop and/or Procreate by Yoko Baum, utilizing raster brushes. No AI was involved in the creation of these artworks. Happy Human-Powered Creativity!
