Welcome to the Circus of Illustrations second zine a collection of original artwork by a merry band of professional illustrators and creative individuals based in the Bedfordshire area.
We are passionate about what we do, and, perfectly in time for summer, this zine has been inspired by the theme of water. Our supporting texts have come from a wide range of sources including literature and poetry. For a full list of contributors and their website details please see the back page.
