Around 15 of the 100 or so artists and illustrators were specialising in Natural History rendering. All the work we saw was impressive but we were held in awe at the stunning work of Lizzie Harper... so much in fact - that we have decided to promote her skills and show off a tiny sample of her work here and asked her to except a freelance commission to design our new logo to herald our 97/98 expansion. So if any professionals out there are looking for someone to employ in an 'illustrative' capacity, we suggest you contact her quickly before a competitor does!
