Snakes in captivity exploring snake welfare and the problems with the snake trade with around 70% of snakes dying before even reaching the stores. This outcome combines both the notions of captivity and freedom within one image, which can be viewed through two different colour filters, the red drawing can be seen in the blue filter and the blue drawing in the red filter.

The wild animal in your house - Teddy Hunter




I looked into domestic cats and how they have evolved to retain a lot of the characteristics and traits of their wild big cat cousins. I found out that compared to today’s domestic dogs cats haven’t changed much genetically from their ancestors. I wanted to show the two sides of the domestic cat in this zine, the wild and the tame and how they seem to coexist in our furry friends. I used both drypoint etching and ink and brush to create the two styles of illustration, joined together by dos รก dos binding. There is a cat flap between the two sections to show the transition from wild predator to tame lap cat that happens with our domestic cats.
