Very excited to reveal the LBOSB Summer 2025 Cover!! This beautiful collage illustration by the talented Aga Kowalska, called ‘The Farm Shop’ depicting locally sourced produce and handmade items. We absolutely love the style and texture of this piece using gorgeous vibrant colours 💛💚

Aga is an illustrator from Poland, currently based in Lincoln, UK. Her creative journey took a new direction when she discovered the joy of "drawing with scissors" – a turning point that led her to work primarily with hand-painted papers. She now creates collage illustrations that celebrate colour, texture, and a slightly folky aesthetic.

Alongside her studio practice, Aga has a passion for picture books. She has been building an ever-growing collection from around the world, and this love of visual storytelling continues to inspire her work. This passion also supports her role as a lecturer on the Illustration programme at the University of Lincoln, where she finds great joy in sharing her enthusiasm for illustration with her students. In addition to her work at the university, Aga also runs creative workshops for all age groups.

You can see her work on her website agakowalska.com and her Instagram account .

If you would like to be featured in this edition just drop me a comment/message or email me at [email protected] The content deadline is Friday 30th May! Xx
