Description
Ink/Pen/Gouache

To accompany the poem 'Contagion' by Spike Milligan:

Elephants are contagious!
Be careful how you tread.
An Elephant that's been trodden on
Should be confined to bed!
Leopards are contagious too
Be careful tiny tots
They don't give you a temperature
But lot and lots of spots.

The Herring is a luck fish
From all disease inured
Should he be ill when caught at sea;
Immediately - he's cured!

The aim was to illustrate this nonsense poem for an adult audience. The brief was also so creat a 'visual list' of the things that appear in the poem over a double page spread. I'm quite pleased with how it turned out'
