My second zine for @knowlewestmedia.bsky.social and @wecanmake.bsky.social, about the Neighbourhood Trade Crew who are performing retrofit on 5 homes on Andover Road. The zine centres their work and explores how to build an inclusive site that prioritises wellbeing and healthy workplace practices.

My illustration for the new @leftcultures.bsky.social mag, illustrating a story by Nick Burton who walked from Lancashire to Parliament to deliver a petition to his MP to improve public rights of way and walking infrastructure. His walk was inspired by the Blanketeers' March in 1817.
