This cartoon portrait of Emmanuel Zuza with a macadamia nut, leaf and flower celebrates the submission of his PhD thesis on the influence of climate change on macadamia farming in Malawi. It was inspired by this photo of him modelling a t-shirt from my Spreadshop at the BES conference in December 2022.
This cartoon was inspired by Bradley Neal’s research on urban butterflies in Milton Keynes 🎨
