PRINCESS AND THE FROG

HITACHI PERSONAL FINANCE (VIA TURN KEY)

Turn Key, a Leeds-based agency, commissioned a pair of illustrations to feature in an ad campaign on the London Underground.

The artwork portrays the iconic scene of the princess and the frog before and after their fairytale kiss, with a twist.

The agency requested a princess character in the classic Disney/Pixar style, but with a non-conventional 'prince' counterpart.
