WelcomeIf you’re interested in

volunteering & contributing to the overall development

of Coexist, email: reception@coexistuk.orgAs Christmas fades to a distant memory and the

shortest day of the year has passed thoughts turn to the New Year and with it all sorts of resolutions. With this in mind why not treat yourself to a therapy from Wellbeing on page 2 or take up that course or class you’ve always wanted to do.

James BoswellArtist of the Month James Boswell is an illustrator based in the heart of Bristol. He graduated in 2012 with a “best of year” award from D&AD. Primarily interested in narrative work, and especially characters, he uses a mix of acrylic and watercolour to create his paint-ings. James’ work has appeared in books by the Folio Society (his Illustrations for the drowned world were shortlisted for the Association of Illustrator’s awards in 2013) and in print in both the Guardian and the Telegraph. He works from the col-lective studio Drawn in Bristol and last summer began working on illustration full time.
