Australian Horror

Here is an illustration I did for INX. It is about the fires decimating Australia. I think you have to be careful with sketches like this so close to the event. People can be pretty tetchy, when human lives are lost in the incident. The kangaroo is the penultimate symbol for Australia. Here I attempted to evoke a sense of stunned disbelief in the marsupial, where the pouch, representing safety, is consumed in flame. Not a happy image to be sure, but apt, I hope.
