Contact your MP. It matters. It makes a difference.

“Only ten years ago we were the best in the world in the annual LGBTI Rights Ranking. We’re now 22nd... This is not just an embarrassment abroad – it’s also a tragedy at home for tens of thousands of people struggling to live lives of quiet dignity.” goodlaw.social/5mgp

The children of Bedford wrote about what their dream street would be like, and I was allowed to draw their vision 🥹

Flipping loved making the illustrations for The Book of Bedford! Artists Andy & Beckie let me do my thing and I had a ball creating images from the words of 250 school children.
