The illustration Charlot Kristensen created for the recent cover of The Irish Times' Saturday Magazine which focused on being black and Irish will surely go down in history as one of the most iconic Irish images of 2020. We sat down in our respective homes (#stayhome, y'all) to chat about how this commission came about, working as an artist in Ireland and her upcoming graphic novel, What We Don't Talk About.
You can check out Charlot's work on her website at charlotkristensen.com and pre-order her graphic novel here.
Charlot is involved with the Dublin Comic Arts Festival, more on which here.
Alan Dunne, who Charlot mentions as a friend and great supporter of her work, can be found at alandunne.ie.
I mention Jordan Peele's Get Out, which is a stunning – and horrific – satire on race in America.
