Zombies!

Here's a recent Insurance Times commission for an article about claimants being given new rights to pursue the insurers of insolvent businesses. In other words, previously dead claims being brought back to life - Zombie insurance!! As you can imagine this was a joy to do.

Simon mentioned that whilst in New Orleans he'd seen a bar offering an Absinthe Frappe. It was then decided that I was the man to draw "Absinthe Frappe".
