Late posting, but here are the illustrations that I did for Volume One's Best Of issue. I had a great time working with them on this project and I really enjoyed making these images. The article can be found here. {Volume One}
I read this article about more people in urban areas choosing to raise their own chickens for organic eggs and meat. So, this strutting rooster is in Seattle.
The piece is based on Jeanne de Valois who created quite a scandal for the french monarchy right before the revolution. She claimed she was a close confidant/ lover of Marie Antoinette's in order to obtain money and favors from the Cardinal. Not nice at all but really daring.
