Lost In Translation

This is another illustration I did for Interpretive class.  We were to create an editorial illustration based on an article from a magazine.  It was a really interesting experience because for the first time it felt like I was creating a professional illustration for an actual client.  I really enjoyed this project.

The article was called "Lost In Translation" and was about Latin terms for plants being used more than the English terms.  My interpretation of the article was that it was poking fun at elitism in the plant/gardening "world."

This illustration depicts one of these elitists, and the flower is what's causing his up-turned nose, normally a sign of snobbery.
