Litter Bugs
Written & Illustrated by Fiona Rose
Self-initiated project.
Winner of Best in Show at D&AD 2015.
The bin-bugs hated bin bags
They were sick of all the clutter.
“I’m bored of eating junk all day
And living in the gutter!”
So the bugs set off exploring
Looking for new things to nibble.
They searched the streets until they smelt
A scent that made them dribble.
