Question

There’s always that one day in spring: the air relaxes, greets skin with a warm touch; the sun shines longer, burns brighter, rises higher; people begin to stroll and life slows. Summer, begins to show. London isn’t always the first place we think of to spend the hot months, but it does have a particular charm…

For Issue 08 of LONDNR, we are offering aspiring and emerging illustrators an incredible opportunity.

What do you have to do? Just send in an image of what Summer in London means to you!
