These are illustrations I’ve produced for the website Conversatial, a website dedicated to overheard snippets of conversation.
I get given the snippet to illustrate without knowing anything about where it came from or in what context it was used. It is great fun working on these as it test my power of imagination and creativity.
Each illustration is accompanied with the conversation snippet (conversatial) I was given to work from.

Son: “Shall we shape daddy’s head off?”
