Once a month since September 2022, artist Lian Bell has done a full circuit of the North and South Circular Roads, observing these 14km through the seasons.
“This illustration represents that feeling you get after seeing your friend in the park for the first time after months of video calls and voice messages.”
“I was inspired to create this illustration after seeing the effects the Covid-19 lockdown has had on the local music industry, and the response of musicians and fans alike.”
F or many decades now Traveller accommodation has needed attention, but up until recently it has been widely ignored and brushed under the carpet by those with the power and ability to make changes, writes artist Leanne McDonagh.
“What gives me hope is seeing ordinary people organising to help each other when they’ve been so utterly failed by their government. With this illustration I hope to highlight and celebrate that,” writes illustrator Karen Vaughan.
“State of this gaff, we don’t like it. And we can do whatever’s in our power to get our point across. And this is it,” write the two artists behind this month’s cover.
