Fatti Burke has made a series of campaign pictures in association with the HSE, to prevent the spread of Covid19

Fatti Burke is a Dunmore East native and an illustrator. The first book she illustrated, which was written by her dad John, was Irelandopedia and she's gone onto work on many other publications since, often as part of that father/daughter duo. You can check out some of Fatti's work here.

Fatti's latest project is in collaboration with the HSE, where she's illustrated a series of poster campaigns encouraging people to socially distance and wear face coverings to help prevent the spread of Covid19.

Fatti dropped into me in studio, have a listen to our chat..
