Hello and welcome to my portfolio!
My name is Lydia Maycock and I'm a writer and illustrator based in Manchester, England.
I'm currently studying for my BA Hons in Creative Media and Visual Communications.
Fun Fact: I'm a film nerd, a book addict and a lover of nature.
My illustrations style focuses mainly on horror, science fiction and fantasy.
I take inspiration from gothic horror, surrealism, dystopian worlds, fairy tales and folklore.
My writing and illustrations subject matters are always centred around mental health, neurodiversity and social justice.
I always find myself drawn to creating imagery of ghosts, monsters, aliens and other strange mythical creatures.
Just like Frankenstein in Mary Shelley's classic novel, anyone who is different/ thinks differently can be misunderstood and judged.
As humans, this is something we love to do. If we do not understand someone or something we mistreat them/it.
Instead, we should learn to understand and appreciate the fact that we all live on this
planet together and are all different in our own unique way!
I am always looking to collaborate with other writers and artists. If you are interested in working with me please do contact me!
