Giant artwork depicting tourism's impact

Heaven is a Town much like Shagaluf

Medium: Ink and digital

Personal project. Giant narrative drawing about the tourism industry in my homeland, Mallorca. Done between Palma and London, it establishes a dialogue between workers and consumers, locals and visitors, colonizers and natives in an excessive, delirious and humorous graphic extravaganza.
