#currently I'm working on an illustration for Canadian Geographic. I'll do a similar breakdown once that's done & public 👍

a bit ago I illustrated an article in The Walrus, and here's the full process for anyone interested!

it was about feral peacocks that got dumped in this small town and started breeding. there were two dumping events - the first was a mom and her chick (who went on to inbreed), and the other was three juveniles.

my first two ideas showed how the peacocks disrupted the town (perching in flower pots and blocking traffic), the next showed how one of the peacocks got eaten by a lynx, and the last two were family trees. The Walrus went with the ‘angelic’ tree, with Pearl the peacock surrounded by a string of pearls.
