Why this piece is awesome: Fascinating colour palette, once again Lix and Randall looking very sharp and stylish. Love the idea of the opaque glasses, the two of them hiding their past, their secrets, and their feelings.

Why this piece is awesome: This is a really fun and cute drawing of Lix and Bel (wearing turtlenecks). Love their facial expressions, especially Bel's sidelong glance at Lix.

Why this piece is awesome: Starting my month of "The Hour" recs with a series of fabulous backstory drawings for Lix and Randall. The artist's style is simply amazing and in just three drawings, we get three key moments of their relationship back then, all of them incredibly atmospheric.
First one, 1935: Lix and Randall as young journalists, all professional and sharp, all in serious grey tones.
Second one, 1940: The two of them in bed together, Lix watching him sleep. The drawing only shows us their backs and a panorama of their room, all done in a wonderful range of warm red tones. Highlight: the orange sunlight falling on them through the blinds.
Third one, 1945: Lix alone in Europe, after the war. This looks like a series of old photographs/polaroids and I love that Lix is either a silhouette in front of ruins, or has half of her face in the shadows. The symbolism here is absolutely spot-on.
