The Rialto is the UK’s leading independent poetry magazine so it was rather super to be asked to illustrate the cover of their 70th issue. Topically, the theme was ‘austerity’ – hence a bit of a run-down feel to the whole thing. It was also an excuse to unleash a series of puns unto the world, something that I’m a huge fan of.
You can buy a back copy of this issue here.
