This 10-page concertina Comic Zine is based on a poem I wrote called ‘Your Field Of Flowers’. I wrote this poem whilst recovering from a broken pelvis and wrist - yes that is every Illustrators nightmare… but I am ok now and it was lovely to come back and illustrate the Zine when I could. It’s funny how not being able to draw for a while brings out creativity in other ways! This Zine will mean something slightly different to everyone, but to me it is about self-discovery and not letting a person, or situation tie you down. It is about having the strength to put you first, so that you can get out there in the World and explore all of the flowers that it has to offer. Dimensions, Printing + Folding: Folded Size: 8.4 x 15 cm / 3.3 x 5.9 in Unfolded Size: 42 x 15 cm / 16.5 x 5.9 in 10 Pages – Concertina folded Digitally printed throughout in full colour, on heavyweight 250gsm uncoated card. Packaging: All of my orders are mailed out in 100% recyclable strong cardboard envelopes to protect against dents + folds. I designed + illustrated this Zine in my home studio. I then got it printed by a local printing company + finished it off by cutting + folding it by hand. Follow my Instagram for future shop updates @gemmyscloud Thank you for your support cloudlings! ☁️

Twelve hectares of smooth-ish paddock, a blank canvas big enough for the most inspired of artists. They wandered around for a while, drawing plans with sweeping hands, gesturing and debating, before getting back into their car and driving away. The men soon returned. The sold sign was knocked
