The next illustration that i'm working on is City Island Aztec print. Tribal prints are all the rage now in fast fashion and while i'm not the biggest fashion victim I really liked it because of the crazy colours they use. The challenge this time around is to use 3 different "mediums" to create the patterns i.e. buildings, roads and giant human parts. Being a geek at heart, i read up on urban ecology and gave more light into the actual "Island" effect of a city. Did you know that buildings can create microclimates that change from one location to the other? Why is it that the street parallel to the main street always have gale winds up-skirting unsuspecting g-string wearers?

The irony behind using the aztec print is of it's exotic nature, their animal art derived from the amazing animals of south america and now used to depict the ever growing Urban environment where fauna exotics are replaced by pigeons, sparrows and feral cats. I should leave you guys with my first draft for island cities and hope that it stirs your curiousity to discover the secrets deep within
