The Street of Crocodiles was a short story we read during my MFA at the School of Visual Arts in New York. We had a project where we had to take inspiration from the text and make some illustrations. The story had a very unsettling tone and a creepy ending so I decided to make illustrations that had that sort of feel. The pictures had a cut out which would show only a portion of the illustration which would look very innocent, but when you turned the page and saw the whole image, you realised that sinister things were going on.
