A whimsical illustration of red cats styled like strawberries, climbing and resting on a pink planter surrounded by green leaves and white flowers against a light blue background. The artist's signature 'Mikslane' is visible on the pot.
A colorful illustrated collage with multiple cartoon-style panels: two fish, a strawberry, a clock, a sweater, a slice of cheese, a price sign reading 'VERY SWEET 5 for £1', large text reading 'LEICESTER MARKET', a red apple, flowers, socks, a price notice for 'VIOLA', and striped and wavy graphic elements.
