I produced this illustration for the February 2014 edition of Synesthesia Magazine the theme of which was Nonsense. It is based on a nonsense poem which you can read below...
The
Radiator Has a Tummy Ache by Carlotta Eden
I once
prescribed tablets
to the
old microwave, and
consoled
the lemon squeezer,
I
hadn't used in a decade.
I
remember hearing the kettle
having
an asthma attack, and
running
to save it by pulling
its
plug out, and that
was
that. I suggested the radio
stick
to one station, tried to fix
the
funny noise
the
radiator was making.
Now
the nurse lends me a smile,
makes
me warm in my bed
I shut
my eyes tight,
see me
pulling a blanket
over
the hole in the shed.
