Cockroachus Historicus

Artwork commissioned by Penna plc to illustrate a series of ads recruiting surveyors, technicians and sales executives for Ecolab (world leader in pest control). This one takes the form of a natural history display cabinet, with specimens lovingly collected and pinned down for scientific examination. The final sample Cockroachus Historicus has been brutally crushed: unlike the competition, Ecolab takes no prisoners!
