Zendaya is LIFE

Illustrations of Zendaya by Kelly Smith

In what has been quite a significant period of editorial work, 2025 has extended my publishing streak with ‘Zendaya is Life,’ by Kathleen Perricone.
As with her previous title, ‘Beyoncé is Life,’ it features 30+ illustrations (by yours truly) of Miss Zendaya Coleman.
I am a STAUNCH devotee to the sartorial world of Zendaya, so I was absolutely DELIGHTED to have the honour of working with Quarto and Kathleen again, capturing some of her most significant ensembles. (Honestly, we could have easily added an extra 30+, she is an ICON.)

As with its predecessor, this book is one in a series of uniquely illustrated editions, each chronicling the evolution of some of our most beloved pop-culture figures.

You can find ‘Zendaya is Life’ in all good bookstores both bricks and mortar and online!
