Varoom 41 \u2013 the No Narrative issue<\/strong><\/p>\n

The practice of storytelling dominates our understanding of illustration, and for good reason \u2013 illustrators are brilliant at it.

Designed by Fraser Muggeridge studio and with a cover illustration by Matthew Richardson, Varoom 41 is a fascinating look at illustration beyond narrative.<\/p>\n
