A rather large sandwich

Happy new(ish) year! Hope you had a good break over the holidays. Here is a recent illustration for the University of Pittsburgh which was part of their Medical School report. The piece is called 'Lunch with Levine' and is about students airing their thoughts and concerns over lunch with the Dean. Parts of their conversation are sandwiched between the lettuce, ham, bread and cheese!

Egg-sharing

The London Women’s clinic

I’ve just been doing some illustrations for a brochure about egg-sharing for the London Women’s clinic. I must admit I didn’t know much about the process of egg-sharing before, but the basic idea is that IVF patients who have a surplus of unused eggs can donate them to help women with fertility problems to have a baby. The process is beneficial to both sharer and receiver, as the receiver pays for the sharer’s treatment.

There are all sorts of issues involved and I thought the subject would be a tricky one to illustrate, but design company Silk Pearce who commissioned the work encouraged me to tackle it with a gentle humour. Here are some of the images I came up with.
