Commission

During the first part of this semester I approached an idiot with the aim of producing illustrations for his project, which was a children’s book of poetry about farts.

It turns out this was a waste of my time. The author was very specific about the style that he wanted, which was Quentin Blake. Below are a series of attempts at translating his work in a visual style similar to Blake’s. I was not comfortable with this request to have them be so directly imitative his work. Although the drawings I produced bare a resemblance I attempted a tighter style and came up with the original concepts of translating farts using clouds.

I submitted these concepts but never heard anything back. The last correspondence was that the author wanted to consult an outside party with my illustrations.
