May FlairIllustration - Kai Asserson Nødland
TFL, Transport Fail London This illustration i created as a part of a series of self promotional work, soon to be included on my website, to showcase my editorial capabilities. The challenge I set myself was creating work that would communicate directly and that people would identify with. This illustration shows a situation I believe any denizen of Londonium will recognize. I know from first-hand experience the horrors of a long commute ( SE8 to N8 at 01:00 in the morning anyone? ), how easily it can made more complicated and how much Londoners enjoy complaining. taking this into consideration I believe this illustration should communicate quite well. I chose the board game and and dice to both subvert an activity that is usually fun and also to underline a hopeless situation by including dice with only one eye. Materials: 0.7 mechanical pencil, Photoshop.
