Contributing To Wallpaper For Refugees

My contributions to Wallpaper for Refugees.

Back in December of last year I was asked, along with a whole bunch of other illustrators, to collaborate on a refugee project.  Each illustrator got a word to illustrate, mine was Schnizel, and here it is in black on pink. The project was really well received and is now on the second production run how cool is that!  

My compliment to the Leichtfried Marlene and her team to make this happen!
