Hi, I’m Thea Kable.

 

I’m a PhD candidate, designer, and illustrator working on the unceded lands of the Gadigal of the Eora Nation. I’ve designed publications including a zine about Biosphere 2, an anthology of kids’ stories, and a book about hopeful futures. My illustrations have appeared alongside pirate-y prose, childrens’ stories (1, 2, 3 & 4), and health articles. I’ve also made a variety of comics and branding.

I was delighted to work on this anthology publication for Story Factory, alongside Carmen Zeng and Spec Studio. This anthology contains the output of two semesters of writing workshops run by Story Factory with young people from under-privileged schools.

For the production of this publication, Carmen and I collaborated on a design language and approach, then individually contributed half of the total internal illustrations. I also illustrated the front cover and type-set the internals of the book.

The stories were continued in Fredrico Saint Hidoka, The Malicious Thief, The Bird in the Antique Shop, and Bryan.
