Lecker Zine Issue 1

I'm really excited to have my 'Indian Sweets' illustration included in issue 1 of Lecker zine. The issue features contributions from over 30 writers, cooks, artists and people generally talking about food. The first edition has sold out but keep an eye on the Lecker website for the second edition, which will be released before Christmas. Lecker podcast was created by Lucy Dearlove in 2016 and I highly recommend listening to it! Front cover illustration is by Holly Gorne and my piece sits alongside a poem by Jennifer Obidike.

When Lucy sent out the request for submissions, I had just finished my risograph print of 'Indian Sweets' at Rabbit Road Press, so submitted it. My print is pink ink on yellow 160gsm card and comes as a signed edition of 10. It features all my favourite Indian sweets and is available to buy from my Etsy shop.
