Poignant indeed. Such simple, yet effective illustrations.

Very touching. I recently watched The Death of Stalin, and although it is a dark comedy, it is impossible not to think of what happened… Thanks, Sarah, for sharing.

His art is gorgeous – you would not know it was created by someone in such painful circumstances.
A heart-breaking story, too. So sad to think of all the people who were imprisoned and executed by Stalin…and of the countless people today who face the same fate by their own governments.
