Boing Boing reader Michael Hacker [website] shares his illustration work in the Boing Boing Flickr pool and says,

Chicago’s Galerie F invited eighteen artists to interpret eighteen stories of famous British author Roald Dahl for their “Fantastic Mr. Dahl” art show. My contribution is an homage to Dahl’s hilarious book “The Twits” about a horrible couple that is cruel to animals and keeps on playing mean tricks on each other. Like putting glue on a tree to catch birds and make them into “Bird Pie” or serving worms with tomato sauce instead of spaghetti.

Here are my two illustrated recipes.

Available as limited screen prints at Galerie F (from Monday, July 22nd) and soon in my online shop.

Two colour screen print on heavy paper, 35×50 cm, Limited edition of 45.
