"Out of Time: A gander down Goose Gate": This illustration depicts geese proudly strutting across a street in red boots. It humorously portrays the Goose Fair – an iconic and historic event held annually in Nottingham, UK. The scene blends old-town architecture with the lively atmosphere of a fairground, featuring elements like a Ferris wheel and a popcorn stand. A sign reading "Goose Gate" grounds the illustration in Nottingham’s local geography, referencing a real historic district. The vibrant colours, sketch-like texture, and playful character make the piece both nostalgic and imaginative.
