Belfast’s job market is in dire straits. A junior graphic designer with a degree and experience can expect to earn only £24k, even with some well-known companies. God help anyone graduating this summer.

I made this illustration in the face of library funding cuts, attacks on LGBTQ+ books, and book bans.

Anyone desperately queueing outside the estate agents trying to get a private rental home could have told you this. Classic property developers and Belfast City Council over-investing in tourism and international students instead of having a functional city centre.

I'm reposting this illustration as I've seen right-wing politicians in my area chastise the local libraries for carrying transgender-themed books, and then there's the current mess in the US with book bans.

The Bakers 👨‍🍳🥐 I created this illustration based on a sketchbook drawing from last year. I wanted to see how my art style and illustrations would look like within children’s books. I’d love to do more of these. Inspired while eating buns. 🍰🧁 #kidlitart #illustration #procreateartist #art
