"In mid-September GQ's latest issue, What's So Great About Britain?, launched to much fanfare online. It's cover shoot, shot by Charlotte Rutherford, saw British icons from FKA Twigs to Anthony Joshua, Brian Cox and even My Blobby come together on a hectic British high street, littered with pigeons, umbrellas and lost cat signs.

"Hannah's illustrations take inspiration from a host of rogue sources, for example, the candy floss skin tones were inspired by burnt British tourists in the Algarve, where Hannah had recently visited prior to the commission."
In mid-September GQ released What's So Great About Britain? with a Charlotte Rutherford cover shoot featuring British icons from FKA Twigs to Anthony Joshua, Brian Cox and My Blobby on a chaotic high street strewn with pigeons, umbrellas and lost cat signs. Seven prominent figures contributed perspectives including Adam Curtis on Britain's 'greatness' and Emma Thompson on the British seaside. Hannah Robinson provided illustrations drawn from rogue inspirations: candy-floss skin tones inspired by burnt tourists in the Algarve and the flat, bold colours of old Looney Tunes backgrounds, unifying the pieces with a saturated palette.
