Illustrations by Vicky Scott

New for October

I created a pair of illustrations for the autumn edition of the RSPB's Wild Times magazine. They show the true story of Emily Williamson, a bird enthusiast from the Victorian era, who was horrified to discover that her favourite birds were being wiped out by the Victorian craze for decorating ladies hats with feathers... and sometimes whole birds! There is a happy ending to this story and the practice was eventually outlawed. My designs needed to bring the story to life for the under 7s with lots of autumn colours and energy!
