Gail Myerscough | Surface Pattern Designer & Illustrator | Manchester Surface Pattern Design & Illustration by Manchester based designer Gail Myerscough. Contemporary design meets mid century style. Contact for art licensing, commissions & collaboration enquiries.

My designs get lots of publicity in magazines and online and it looks like I’m doing really well.
The reality is that it’s bloody hard work being self employed and it’s not getting any easier.

Have a look at what I do and repost. Thanks.

I'll take Chaotic Good. Should clarify that the only organised elements of the bookcase are the Penguins and Martin Amis (non-orange Penguins). The rest is pretty random.
