Fair Lady was the first grown-up magazine I ever had a subscription to.

What’s for supper?
I’m illustrating FairLady’s new one-page recipe feature called “What’s for supper?” that features four quick recipes. This was the first one I did, published in the March issue. I’m really happy with these. They remind me of 70s teatowel designs, and I do like a good teatowel! This afternoon I must finish off the next …
