Mark Todd & Esther Pearl

For the cover, sleeve and inner pages of American Illustration 22 Mark Todd & Esther Pearl collaborated on a twin theme.  The choice of twins reflects the 22nd issue number and the significance of the number 2, i.e. the 2 is doubled in the number 22, a twinned number.  The 'twin thing' is very apparent in these illustrations.  Twinny t-shirts, poses and word play are all aspects that the artists use to emphasise twinship.
