I’ve been admiring the work of Suzanne Summersgill at Pinn Studio for years and am thrilled to finally have a chance to work with her. (She’s doing an illustration for our upcoming Jan-Feb issue.)
Here’s a piece from her website, “The Brave Little Girl.” I love that combination of built textures and whimsy!
Check out more of her work here.

I’ve been admiring the work of Polly Becker for years. I have always loved assemblage, and Polly takes it to a strikingly evocative level with her use of old photos and vintage odds and ends. The woman wields a mean metaphor (cf. these images from her web site).
I finally got the opportunity to ask her to illustrate for us when I found what seemed to be a match for her work: an article on work-at-home moms which we’ll be running in our March-April issue—and was thrilled to learn that she’s a work-at-home mom herself—who said she’d long been interested in creating work for Mothering.
Keep an eye out . . .

I’ve been working with a new illustrator, Jonathan Lam, for the upcoming November–December issue. One of the things that sets this guy apart from the other illustrators whose work has appeared in our pages is that he is—among other things, of course—a comic book illustrator.
We wanted art with an epic feel for a story about a woman who has a waterbirth during a power outage after a huge windstorm in the Seattle area, and Jon’s style seemed a match.
After all, what could be more heroic than natural childbirth? I’d like to see Spidey do that . . .
