The Story

‘Cape Cod’ was commissioned by the Boston Globe for an article part of the series ‘My First Home’ where authors share their journey towards home ownership. In this illustration, with the use of warm and nocturnal colours, Decue hints to the satisfaction and eerie feeling of vacationing in one’s dream home.

Decue edits her drawings on her computer with digital tools such as Photoshop and Illustrator. Starting off-screen, she plays with her hand-made textures, screen prints and collages. This technique gives her illustrations unique and rich patterns similar to brush and paper textures.
