Stirring Creativty with Lena Yokoyama and Bombay Sapphire

Working with advertising agency Ogilvy, illustrator Lena Yokoyama was invited to design and paint this uplifting and summer-tinged mural for British gin brand Bombay Sapphire. 
Inspired by their new gin flavour, Bombay Citron Pressé, Lena's vibrant mural formed the backdrop of their pop-up bar in Somerset House for This Bright Land festival which ran throughout August.

Her beautiful, citrussy artwork was then also translated into two even larger-scale murals up in Liverpool as part of the campaign to promote the new flavour.
