Limited Edition

Austin Austin have returned to Christian Newby, the artist of Edition 1, to create new drawings for a limited edition hand soap & hand cream. He has brought us a collection of new characters, the Silk Imps. Theatrical and eccentric, Newby describes them as actors waiting in the wings.
