Miserable Mullet
This illustration was produced as part an alphabet themed project in which twenty six different artists were each assigned a letter of the alphabet. We then received two randomly generated words that began with our specific letter, one a noun and the other an adjective. Each participating artist was then required to produce an illustration based on their peculiar combination of words.
The final outcome was a large exhibition showcasing all 26 illustrations. As I’m sure you can imagine, It was a surreal display of alphabetical fun with so many unusual images inspired by strange word combinations. The project was a really unique idea, which made it great fun to participate in!
I was given the letter, ‘M’ and my surreal word combination was, ‘Miserable Mullet’, which I interpreted to be referring to the hairstyle, rather than the fish…
I decide to draw a downbeat looking character sporting an outrageously large mullet. I added a forlorn expression to his face, as though he’s just been rocked by the epiphany that his beloved hairstyle may no longer be considered the cutting edge of fashion.
Having said that, I did just read the the mullet is set too make a big come back in 2021! Perhaps that will cheer him up? Watch this space…
