Hey Brexit Lovers.

Let's not forget to celebrate how from Oct 12 the new system begins.
Britons will need to supply fingerprints, face scan & eventually their criminal record & £17 for the ability to travel to & from Europe for 3 years.

How proud to strangle freedom of movement for generations.

Looking at ETIAS rules, it appears that UK-only citizens convicted for supporting Palestine Action will be automatically banned from the Schengen zone.

ETIAS for British Citizens

The ETIAS will soon be required for UK travelers visiting Europe. Learn who needs it, how to apply, and what to expect before your next trip.

A few illustrations I did for the Atlantic Productions documentary Titanic - The Digital Resurrection on National Geographic.
Illustrations © Atlantic Productions

Head and shoulder illustration of Titanic Engineer Fred Barrett looking shocked.

Three Titanic engineers desperately shovelling coal into one of the ships boilers.

Two of Titanic’s engineers desperately try to lay pipes from the midship bilge pumps.

A Titanic coal man escaping through the rising water as seawater gushes in to the engine room.
