A Collection of Satirical Animal Illustrations
Illustrations featuring imagined architecture on the backs of unsuspecting animals.
Animal BnB is a satirical illustration project commenting on how we manipulate the natural world around us. Each animal begrudgingly plays “host” to a BnB, and is accompanied by cheeky reviews that weave a narrative connecting throughout the illustrations.
