Emotional Intelligence

Donough used his signature colour-blocked energy and expressive character work to a recent editorial commission for USA's Brio magazine. The article, titled Choosing to Love More by Being Offended Less, offers young readers practical, values-based advice on emotional resilience and empathy. His illustrations translate these concepts into dynamic scenes filled with warmth, contrast, and storytelling - designed to visually support the article’s core message of responding to conflict with compassion. A striking example of how thoughtful editorial illustration can deepen the impact of written advice.
