I’m Sophie Almond, an illustrator from Hull, living in Edinburgh
My work focuses on observational fineliner drawings, riso printing and making zines. I like to use bold bright colours in limited colour schemes, and my work is based on varied themes including mundanities, motorsport and the gothic. I studied illustration at the University of Edinburgh, and my work tends towards poster illustration and comics.
