As an expat living in the UK, I notice that even though English is spoken in both the US and the UK, there are lots of different phrases that I find charming, unique, or fun and different that I hear around. This illustration series started out as just a way to create a fun compilation of a few favorite phrases and words, but I expanded it to create a few more illustrations.
