I had the chance to work on some illustrations for illustrators.com
I had a blast creating this set of characters and being part of a project that I truly believe will help our creative community in this chaotic time.
Wanna see some process stuff? Sketches and stuff?

It has now been 5 days since Keir Starmer posted on X. 11 for Rachel Reeves
Previously both we're posting several times a day - seems a informal boycott is happening
Meanwhile @zackpolanski.bsky.social has posted/retweeted 7 times this morning. @eddavey.libdems.org.uk too
When you leaving chaps?
