Pick Any Two

So, in my post on issue 29 of LeftLion magazine, I mentioned a vague plan to use some vibrant illustration for the front cover of our fifth birthday issue. Well, we ended up with a photographic cover, but it does feature some illustrations - seven of them, in fact.

We decided, rather than settle for one illustration, it would be better to commision a bunch of our regular illustrators to each make us a birthday card. The cards were then set up in an arrangement suitable for a fifth birthday with cake, candles, crepe paper and all. The resulting setup was photographed by my good self, who then took great delight in making the cake disappear :o)

Thanks to Alex Godwin, George Mitchell, Kim Thompson, Rob White, Ging Inferior, Alison Hedley and Mike Lomon for their card contributions.
