Lucy Davey illustrates Scottish Walking Guides for Pocket Mountains

Lucy Davey has illustrated 3 walking guide covers for the islands of Scotland for Pocket Mountains written by Peter Edwards. Taking inspiration from the landscapes of Brian Cook, she said, ‘I've worked with Robbie Porteous from Pocket Mountains on a few projects now. The Uist cover is my favourite - I always enjoy depicting water in my illustrations and I particularly like the colour combinations in this one.’
