Cuckoo Young Writers – illustrations

Client: New Writing North

This project has been archived. For up-to-date design projects please check out my portfolio

New Writing North asked Velcrobelly to create this series of illustrations for Cuckoo Young Writers, their programme of literary activities and workshops for young people.

The illustrations are irreverent collages depicting historic forms of writing and ‘pulp’ genre-fiction book covers, albeit as created by sentient cuckoos. The images are used in the group’s print design and as part of Cuckoo Quarterly, their online magazine.
