This week I received my copy of the World Illustration Awards catalogue. It features my favourite of the Flora collection, ‘Sound-system Swamp’ almost exactly a year after I made it! 🔊 🌱

It has been such a joy to be shortlisted and involved in the celebrations!

The AOI has been holding an annual illustration competition for over 45 years and this year's call for entries encouraged illustrators to Be Ambition, Be Seen and Be Celebrated. The shortlist is complied of 200 different entries, narrowed down from 4,300+ applicants from 79 different countries... and I’m one of them!

I’m slightly heartbroken the physical WIA exhibition is cancelled, as it’s been a dream of mine to have my work there, however I’m unbelievably grateful for this opportunity and all the amazing opportunities it will hopefully bring for my career 💙

Reminder that all the illustrations from this collection are available as prints on my shop 💕 I’ll probably be closing my shop in January (my subscription on Squarespace is ending and I don’t wanna pay loads for it again lol) so make the most of it whilst you can! ✨
