They know she has the knowledge, experience and professionalism to create the perfect imagery for their projects. Some of the world’s biggest editorial, publishing and conservation organisations turn to Becca for the traditional, handmade feel of her work.\n\nNature and history are Becca’s passions and are the heart and soul of her work. Jackdaws hopping on decaying old castles, ancient burial chambers hidden on the moors and folklore from a lost age – all this and more is carved out in her prints.\n\n\u003Ch3>Approach\u003C\u002Fh3>\nBecca begins with a pencil and sketchbook before moving to Procreate to develop roughs. A relief of the final image will be carefully carved into traditional artist's lino before being hand printed - a different layer for each colour. Once the ink is dry, prints are scanned and edited, ready for use. For commercial work, colours are usually printed separately in black ink, then compiled and coloured digitally for speed and accuracy. If deadlines are too tight to allow for carving and waiting for ink to dry, Becca can replicate her linocuts digitally, using Procreate and scanned print textures. \n\u003Ch3> Key Software \u003C\u002Fh3>Procreate\n\n\u003Ch3>Style\u003C\u002Fh3>\nBecca’s style is bold and graphic, playful and textured, jaunty and eclectic. The hand of the artist and the happy accident enrich everything she creates, which is why people relate so readily to her style.\n\n\u003Ch3>Awards\u003C\u002Fh3>\n2025 - Shortlisted World Illustration Awards - Book Covers\n2025 - Longlisted World Illustration Awards - Editorial\n2024 - Shortlisted Communication Arts Illustration Competition - Editorial\n2023 – Shortlisted World Illustration Awards – Science & Technology\n2022 – Longlisted World Illustration Awards – Science & Technology\n2017 – Shortlisted World Illustration Awards - Self-initiated\n2011 – Longlisted AOI Images 33 \n2010 – Shortlisted AOI Images 32\n2010 – Shortlisted Creative Review Illustration Awards\n2008 – Winner of Harper Collins x Saatchi Gallery Book Cover Design Competition\n2005 – Shortlisted Nationwide Mercury Prize for Art & Music","Becca Thorne is a UK-based printmaker and illustrator known for her traditional, handmade feel and bold, graphic style.
