As South Sudan marks the first anniversary of its independence on July 9, MSF teams are struggling to save lives in one of the most complicated and challenging refugee crises in its history. Having arrived with stories of violence, some 100,000 Sudanese refugees, many of them ill, have sought sanctuary in camps in Upper Nile State with inadequate resources and harsh living conditions.
Here, we take a look at the year that led up to this emergency.

Mr Gary Hunt http://gary-hunt.tumblr.com/ has put together a lovely little website for our Illustration class ahead of our upcoming degree show. My classmates are a wonderfully talented bunch and you can find links to all their blogs and websites throughout the website (this post would be rather long if I listed them individually, and it would take away from the fun of exploring the website).
It should be a great show, there’s some terrific stuff on show. Do come along if you’re in the Norfolk area (even if you aren’t, it really is worth the travel fare), and you will be able to buy some great prints to keep!
You can find us at:The Gallery @ NUCA

My series of 5 for Angela Carter’s Erl-King.
I’ve tried to capture key parts of the story that stand out to me while still maintaining the narrative. The series includes the heroine going into the woods to meet the Erl-King; her descriptions of their embraces in the moonlight; her documentation of the Erl-King’s old fiddle surrounded by his birds in cages; how the heroine loves the Erl-king so intensely she wishes she was a seed he would swallow so he would bear her; and after the heroine kills the Erl-King, how all the birds turn back into young girls.
Stylistic variation / experiment for Angela Carter’s crab birth scene. I was getting kind of bored and frustrated with the previous way of working so I made these as a sort of productive break. Future plans for these designs I reckon are T-Shirt prints.
These are 2 alternative variations to the crab birth scene in Angela Carter’s Fairytales
These are lose extracts in response to Angela Carter’s Erl-King
