Inspired by a video edit of Bob Mortimer's legendary appearances on the BBC TV programme 'Would I Lie To You?' – as a personal project, I decided to illustrate his fictional characters!
This series of collages explores the absurdity of his storytelling using traditional analog techniques. I pieced together fragmented features and textures to build abstract, tactile character portraits that match the absurd charm of Bob's brain!
