Donkey

I recently talked to Jonny and showed him my sketchbook (mainly to show I've been doing work) and a certain image caught his eye. It was this donkey digestive system drawing I did that, although I liked the idea, didn't feel the outcome was too great.




Later that night I got passed on a rather cryptic text from no-one other than Pete Lloyd. He wanted to to come in the studio the next day and bring the donkey image. I'm not gonna lie, I was pretty damn scared.

So the next day rolled around, and it turns out Jonny told Pete about the image. They've been looking for an image to represent Solent at the D&AD show, and they wanted me to recreate my donkey image for the show, but using the various stomachs and guts to visualise the illustration course :)

It's pretty exciting, Though rather daunting too. The hardest part will be balancing humour with relevance (and not being too cutting with my humour)




Here's a sketchbook page I did recently. It's following in the 'breakfast' idea and is a recipe for making fantastic beans on toast. Although I like the idea of pictorial recipes, they're quite difficult and not very visually rewarding.
