I worked on a very exciting project with Shrewsbury BID to create illustrations to advertise the town to Christmas shoppers and decorate Shrewsbury's streets and independent shops with festive cheer on the run-up to Christmas 2021. The project worked alongside a short film with Painted Life Productions, which I provided storyboards and prop work for.
Here is the main illustration I created for the advertisement, and as an artwork for a letter to Father Christmas that children could post in special festive postboxes around town.
