Simple Myths

So who knew if you rubbed a coin on metal it would stay in the ticket machine without popping out of the coin return again and again. Not true of course but this was one myth of four that needed illustrating-sort of. Got a call from Men's Health Germany to illustrate these. My first take was to do a sequential piece, showing the coing going into machine, popping out, being rubbed and so on. I was pleasantly surprised when Grit, the art director, expressed in very good but slightly confusing English that they wanted the illustrations to be more about experiments disproving or proving these myths. So, that's what I did.
