Hampton Court Flower Show, 5th - 11th July.
Garden's Illustrated Magazine had a marquee for the first time at Hampton Court Flower Show. I designed images for their marketing and for the backdrop of the stand.
I was helping out at the flower show on my parents stand, 'Jekka's Herb Farm.' Growing up on the flower show circuit has been the biggest influence on my illustration and prints.

Ink-dot's latest poster show 'ESCAPE,' in the upstairs gallery space of the Howies store on Queens rd, Thursday 17th June till 11th July.
Ink-dot invited 35 established designers and illustrators as well as exciting new talent from all over Bristol. The designers were challenged to produce something a little more unpremeditated, giving them an opportunity to create a piece of work that they may never have had the excuse to before. There are no boundaries to what kind of design can be produced. However, the designers are restricted to a set size, limited palette and the title 'escape.'

This event is organised by Steven Dawson, Hannah McVicar and Hello Blue.
