Obama and Romney

Luxury Homes

This editorial illustration from Willie Ryan was commissioned by The Telegraph last month. Used in their 'Luxury Homes' lifestyle magazine, each of the images appeared as a column width drop-in, over a two page spread. The article was about future Europeans living in spacious modern homes awash with touch-screen technology and robots!
