DescriptionLeni studied BA Illustration at Central Saint Martins. She says:
'This series of illustrations were drawn as an accompaniment to Neil Gaiman's short story 'Sunbird'. The story is of an epicurean club where the members have eaten every animal under the sun and have run out of things to eat. The illustrations can be viewed as recipes of sorts, documenting animals that the club may have eaten, some that do not exist anymore, or existed so long ago that no one remembers if they were real or imaginary.'
