Mayfly

Victo Ngai

A full page illustration is for the last New Yorker fiction “Mayfly” by Kevin Canty. 

Big thanks to AD Jordan Awan who suggested that we could create an edge to edge butterfly piece focusing on the first paragraph of the story: “Driving across the Utah desert on I‐70, James hit a butterfly with his car. Then another. Then a shower of them, hitting the windshield like hail, wings trapped in the wipers, orange and black. The noise of them, muted but steady, woke Molly from her trance, and she looked out the windshield, at broken wings and yellow smears.”  

You can read the process post on my drawger.

Here’s the work progress! :D (Full image here)

Btw, I noticed a lot of people on my fb and tumblr mistook a few of the posters so I’ll just clarify them now. The one on the bottom left with Nyan cat and Like a Sir is the banner for hacker group LulzSec, not a random meme insert. The Nyoro~n behind Vance is the icon for Kayla, a lulzSec hacker. The hourglass logo on the top room corner is the Wikileaks logo, not my “Countdown” drawing. Basically, all the posters in this drawing is either related to hacktivists or protesters, if you think it looks like a random meme or something else, it’s not in the context of this drawing. A lot of hackers like to use memes as their symbol so it can easily get confusing ^^;
