I chose to illustrate Noel’s quote because the description of his future was so evocative; I could see the image that I wanted to create in my mind’s eye as soon as I read it. I am a big fan of capturing personalities, and the festival scene that I was inspired to create gave me the perfect opportunity to do this! I loved Noel’s idea of lots of characters from all different walks of life coming together in a forum for the greater good, and to me the idea of a Glastonbury style festival seemed like a really exciting way of meshing all of these different characters together.
