2009: Artisian Perfumery comission



A year ago, I was approached by Alec Lawless, founder of http://www.essentially-me.co.uk, to provide 2 illustrations for his book 'Artisian Perfumery: Or being led by the nose'. 









Triune Brain theory

This first of the 2 illustrations is of the 'Triune Brain theory'. Ink, Pen, Graphics.
This theory of the structure of the brian, splits it into 3 layers, which have been described as the crocodile, horse and person. 
The reptilian cortex is interested in procreation and survival; the mammalian in love and relationships; and the human - logic and reasoning 




Verrap Pan

2nd illustration of Verrap Pan for Alec Lawless. Ink, Pen, Watercolour, Graphics.

Veerap Pam, from the Mysore region of India, was infamous individual in the sandalwood oil production industry (selling illegally logged wood on the black market). He has also taken numerous tourists hostage in the Mysore jungles and has apparently shot over 2,000 elephants in his lifetime. The topee(s) is to make him look stupid (a cultural reference, apparently).
