Drawn in Bristol presents: Bunt Sat 9 - Sun 17 June

On 9th June Drawn in Bristol launches a city-wide illustration exhibition as part of Big Green Week and numerous illustrators have chosen to depict endangered species on wooden bunting to be displayed at various venues around the city.


Here's mine, depicting an adder, duke of burgundy, heath fritillary and small pearl-bordered fritillary (butterflies):




I've had a glimpse of a few finished pieces by other illustrators already and the results look fantastic. It should be a really diverse and interesting exhibition, and the green colour palette means that they should all sit well together. Working within the triangular format was a challenge, as well as depicting the characteristics of different species with stencils and spraypaint - some painstaking cutting was involved.


The pieces are being auctioned off at the end so there is a chance to own one!
