Pride 2019 illustration campaign

To celebrate this year’s Pride Month, shado asked five of our brilliant global illustrators to create a captioned image which, for them, encapsulates what Pride means. Take a look at how Emilie Muszczak, Maryam Jamal, Ania Sinik, Liv Page and Lauren Drinkwater illustrated their Pride.

‘Summer is one of my best friends, she’s a warrior woman whose laugh lights up my soul. She is brave. She is power. She is the sunshine on a rainy day. Summer has taught me about acceptance, love, life, spirituality and connection within ourselves and the world. Summer, I love you my babe. Thank you for your constant flow of energy. I’m so proud of your growth. I can’t wait to be an old woman with you drinking wine whilst we giggle at all of the silly things we’ve done and toast to our long list of achievements.’
