First Signs of Spring

Papier artists illustrate what represents the changing of the seasons for them.

With it snowing one minute, a heatwave the next, then chilly and drizzly, it's yet to feel like spring has really sprung this year. For six of Papier's international artists though, there's always a sure sign that represents the changing of the seasons. Here, they each show us what that is in characteristically illustrated fashion.
