Illustrator Gianna Meolais our guest artist for the April issue. Her effortlessly succinct images capture poignant moments in sixteen of our texts in the Fiction, Nonfiction, and Drama sections, as well as the works of our Close Approximations Contest winners. I interview her about her experience contributing to Asymptote, and delve into her processes as an illustrator.
Berny Tan: I really appreciate how you were able to distill every text into one distinct image. Could you take us through your process of conceiving and executing each piece?
Gianna Meola: I’m pretty straightforward—I read the text and thumbnail any ideas that come to me as I go, and then add notes and corrections before moving on to cleaner sketches. I also like to do some research into what I’m drawing if I’m not familiar with it; for instance, I ended up learning some truly useless information about constellations while researching ‘Anathema.’ It was great.

The astonishing performance by 12th seed Kournikova was one of the most excruciating in Grand Slam history and dominated conversation until Schett&#;s second round victory.
Schett had beaten fourth seed Sanchez Vicario in a Sydney warm-up tournament last week and the Spaniard succumbed in just 55 minutes on a windy outside at Melbourne Park.
Britain&#;s Rusedski was out-thought in an enthralling outside court encounter against Goldstein, a qualifier playing in only his 10th match on the professional tour.
The slightly-built Goldstein beat the big left-hander to leave just eight seeds and a lone Briton &#; sixth seed Tim Henman &#; in th
