A couple of months ago i took on a job doing a booklet for the Swedish center for adult education about setting up review committees for official personnel or some such. As you can imagine the mass of text was boring to the point of almost killing me. Illustrating an anemic tome of this caliber in any conventional manner seemed counterproductive if even possible.
Eventually I decided just to do something fun that would make the text bearable, namely superheroes - YAY!
