The A5 card is hand drawn using pen and pencil.

It features the wartime icon known for pioneering modern nursing, with an artistic twist.

Mr Turner said: "This was say out of my comfort zone as I rarely ever draw people, but I wanted to do something to support our amazing NHS staff in their tireless, selfless work during the COVID-19 global pandemic.

"I've given it a modern, tattoo style twist with roses and an NHS scroll banner.

"For every card sold, I will be giving all profit to NHS Charities Together."

Mr Turner - better known as Squidoodle - has already been sharing his talents during the crisis, with free quirky colouring in sheets.

The designs show appreciation to the NHS and carers and are aimed at keeping children and adults occupied during the lockdown.

The adult colouring book author has also produced journals and tattoo design books over the past five years.

He's worked for restaurants, museums and clothing companies around the world.
