Little White Lies – Issue #91

On the cover

Hackney-based tattooist and illustrator Sophie Mo is very much part of the LWLies family, and we were thrilled to finally work with her on a cover. Working in her signature style, she designed a portrait of Agathe Rousselle as Alexia incorporating visual elements of the film, which was then tattooed over the course of four hours on Saturday 26th September at Parliament Tattoo in London. A photograph of the finished tattoo is what you see on the cover.

Illustrators in this issue include Aaron Lockwood, Evangeline Gallagher, Jenifer Prince, Agnes Ricart and Lucas Peverill.
