The Olympics are just around the corner and with this in mind Ian Whadcock was commissioned to illustrate a feature for View magazine.
The feature focuses on the true meaning of Olympic spirit and commends the civil and public servants who will make the games possible.
Ian's illustration cleverly combines sporting achievement and the more mundane, but essential, work going on behind the scenes.
