Diagnosis
Mark Murphy invited us to participate in his curated illustration resource book Dialogue: The Fine Art of Conversation. Each artist had to illustrate a found letter or piece of correspondence. “Because I am perpetually swamped in junk mail, I chose to base this piece on a spam-email rumor that Kentucky Fried Chicken had to shorten its name to KFC because they used genetically manipulated organisms instead of real chicken to up their profit margin.” — P. K.
Accolades
- American Illustration (selected)
- Print’s Regional Design Annual
Our project statement as it appears in the printed book, along with the piece of spam mail used as inspiration:
One of the most significant advances in modern technology is spam — the digital message, not the luncheon meat. It fills your inbox daily with meaningful messages, special offers, crucial warnings, and convenient porn links. Why, without spam, the shocking and distressing news about genetic chicken mutations may never have reached the drumstick-consuming public en masse. So please, pass this message along to everyone you know. Together we can make a difference. Thank you.
