Illustrating Bristol’s independent cafes and bars
Naomi Clarke is a graphic artist and illustrator based at Debon House in Lawrence Hill. She graduated from UWE Bristol in 2019 and she has already worked with clients throughout the city, including Clifton Visitor Centre and Tangent Books – you might recognise her designs as the front cover of Bristol Short Story Prize Anthology Volume 12 (2019).
One of Naomi’s projects has been to illustrate the city’s independent cafes, bars and shops. As a celebration of Bristol’s thriving independent scene, we’ve showcased her work below:
