Gotta hand it to you 2020, it’s been weird. Although I didn’t make as much as I’d planned to this time last year, I like that these #topnine encapsulate the clusterfuck of this year nicely. From new year naivety to panic buying era to BLM protests to meditative watercolours and gardeny cat hangs, to ruminations on iso introspection, Trump riddance and general weirdness plus all of the above and plants. Wow! 🥂 . . . . #illustration #art #2020 #reflection #newyear #newyearseve #top9 #artist #simanion https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcgW7LngYW/?igshid=1n77ot27is938

This weird guy was going to be a ‘You must be this tall to ride’ sign for P&O Cruises water slides, but that may not happen now so I thought I’d share it here because I still like it. . . . . . #illustration #characterdesign #design #illustrator #psychedelicart #kidsillustration #jellyfishart #artwork #artist #simanion https://www.instagram.com/p/B1P4S2XHQp_/?igshid=8vwx7boaga8m
