Bollocks to Poverty Banner



Action Aid commissioned me to illustrate a banner for their Bollocks to Poverty campaign. Here's my spiel.... 

"The idea behind my illustration is quite simply "what environment would you rather live in?" To show this I juxtaposed a rich healthy environment with a grey, polluted one. Most people would choose the rich and colorful environment; but not everyone has a choice. I just wanted make people think about the extremes of affluence and poverty in the world and how we should help those less privileged than ourselves."
