Lucy Davey Brings the 'Shopaholic' Series to Life

Lucy Davey has illustrated a plethora of dainty drawings for Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series. Richard Ogle at Penguin, briefed Lucy to illustrate bright and playful spot-illustrations that reflect the theme of each book. When completing the project, it was important for Lucy to keep the Becky Bloomwood character recognisable and to maintain a consistent series-style.

Lucy particularly liked working on the Shopaholic and Baby cover, and said that, “creating a stylised Stork that fitted with the series style – that also wasn’t too twee or cartoonish – was a fun challenge”.

Christmas Shopaholic is the most recent cover that Lucy worked on, and it is available to buy from the 17th of October.
