In this illustration, the rabbit is very much alive and completely unbothered. He sits at the center of the plate as if it’s just another seat at the table. Around him are roasted pattypan squash, carrots, and other late-summer vegetables, styled somewhere between a folk-art cookbook and an ironic supper.

This illustration is inspired by a childhood memory: a rabbit served for supper. At first, it seemed like a typical meal, but then it hit me that this wasn't just meat; he was the rabbit from our little farm, the one I used to say hello to.
