Blood Ivory
This piece aims to raise awareness about the alarming number of elephants being killed by poaching each year in Africa. Personally created by photographing a real elephant tusk and hand illustrating the story before being digitally composited with photoshop. The final image can be used as an awareness advertisement against the trade in a variety of media - from print to digital. An augmented reality aspect of this piece was created for the exhibition in Dublin.
