V&A East


APRIL 2026

I got to illustrate some work for the V&A Shop, at V&A East last year, where I created a full composition inspired by pieces within their V&A East Storehouse.

The plan was to be able to pull out any illustration so it could be used for different bits of merch to sell in their shop. So far, there is a pin and cap released, and mugs will be live in the next week or so too.

I've included an image of the reference, a sketch, and the final illustration to give you an idea of the process.
