Hel Covell - Zoom
This chic 21st century has placed precious technological tools in our hands. And when they allow us to make the narrative of an illustration even more powerful, then we don't sulk in our pleasure. The evolving collection here will bring together risographies that come to life as soon as you point them at them with your latest-generation cell phone. How is this possible? Thanks to a QR code of unrivalled discretion hidden inside each poster. A great way to impress the crowd of friends who come to visit you.

Hel Covell lives in Yorkshire, way up there in the north of England, always surrounded by her precious friends, both real and imaginary. It's thanks to this little band of pals that, over the years of her young career, she's been able to defy the sometimes cruel world of freelance work and take on challenges as varied as they are exciting: painting arcade games for London's V&A museum, creating a children's book, working for a famous retail brand, doing illustrations for a video game, etc. The apparent naivety of her drawing, the fragility of her line and her ability to humanize a whole host of strange beings make Hel Covell's illustrations sensitive and touching. It almost makes you want to close the curtains and invite all these little people to sit on the sofa, drinking hot chocolate and marshmallows while watching Miyazaki's complete works.
