We've put together a gallery of all the illustrators exhibiting at CMYK today. Because we're nice like that.
It's a group that that's both incredibly talented and incredibly varied in what it does with a pen and a piece of paper. It's also a group of well-known illustrators and design professionals drawn from across the UK exhibiting amongst artists based at least semi-locally, or with strong links to HCA.
Whether or not you're able to make it across (11am - 5pm) to Hay-on-Wye today for the talks and stalls and banter about the functionality of Adobe Illustrator on the ipad, there are at the very least some GREAT follows on Insta here.
Have a scroll, see what you like, maybe buy something really cool.
(If you haven't already, click here to read our q + a with CMYK organiser and illustrator Nicholas Stevenson on everything from Instagram to being asked to work on your in-laws idea for a childrens' book.)
