This is a piece of illustration that I did for "the Book of Conversations" http://www.bookofconversations.com/
120 artists, designers and photographers were each given a question to illustrate. Mine was "what rumour did you start?" I decided to base my illustration around rumour mills (a phrase that I think may not translate outside the UK.) The idea is people are drawn to the bright, glitzy glamour of the rumour mills. However the mill workers are, literally, plucking rumours out of the air. Winds drive the sails, which drive the cogs - each with random words and phrases, which mesh together to form a rumour. This is then whispered down to the eager people queuing outside.
The book is in publishing negotiations and should be out soon, followed by an exhibition.
