Illustrations for Holly Webb’s series of children’s mysteries, executed in watercolor using ink. Through the contrast of light and shadow and the emphasized materiality of the blotches, the illustrations convey the atmosphere of old London and the intuition of the main character.
The concise black-and-white drawing enhances the feeling of mystery by highlighting the details of the streets, silhouettes, and clues that Maisie is chasing. This visual language weaves a cohesive—though slightly dark, yet childlike—story of puzzles and streets, where every blotch transforms into a hint.
