Dear Diary,

You know there’s nothing I love more than the taste of bloody flesh, freshly cut from a still warm body… some says I got a predator mind… So imagine how I felt when Fredd from Soma Skate Medecine contacted the Studio to illustrate an article about the vegan movement in skateboarding for the 13^th issue of the mag !… But turning down a job opportunity for personal convictions ain’t part of the job description at IES… Anyway… working for Soma was a real honor and challenge for us. So our best illustrators (Dan Pussey, Isaac Mendes & Olli Mighty) were, for nearly two weeks, in a quasi-state of war ; thinking over and drawing veggies on every pieces of paper in the office. Finally Olli Mighty, our beloved intern, proposed an interesting idea (based on a picture found on the internet…) of an Alien monster made from different kinds of veggies. Definitively one of his best work ever…
