Research into different pests brought up some interesting options for my four postcards. My drawing still intends to be simple to work in tandem with illustrator, here and there I get a little carried away however and start complicating things.
I liked the idea of drawing locusts and grasshopper type insects, it does however turn out that they are (at the moment) not a pest anywhere and don't really bother anyone. Getting around this I thought Id reference a very popular book with humans - the bible. I.E the swarm of locusts set upon Giza, Egypt as punishment from God.
Following concepts of seagulls and monkeys made sense as Rome has an infestation of seagulls and monkeys are a pain in the arse for the people of Thailand. Disliking seagulls I plan to use them within a postcard, monkeys I like to much however and I don't want to promote as vermin.
I completed this stage briskly deciding on cockroaches of New York for my final postcard. This was tactical as I needed plenty of time to make the work digitally, as previously mentioned, being stubborn and relatively new to the software.
