Collective Nouns: A Collective Project
We have invited 15 enterprising, exceptional artists to illustrate new collective nouns that have been collected by All-Sorts.org, a linguistic experiment that is taking the web by storm.
- Mina Braun: a round of robins
- Jez Burrows: a hush of librarians
- Emily Chappell: a stereoscopy of cyclopses
- Chris Dobson: an orchard of macs
- Gary Mackean: a hanging of bats
- Emily MacKenzie: a pandemonium of pandas
- Kate McLelland: a maze of sparrows
- Simon Madine: a fish of surrealists
- Parko Polo: a seemingly empty room of ninjas
- Matt Stockl: an unstable of imaginary horses
- Dave Sutton: a sofa of dogs
- Isabelle Ting: an athena of owls
- Bill Walsh: half a glassful of optimists
- Rachel Wilson: a tangle of octopuses
- Andrew Wright: a tinkle of euphemisms
Screen printed A4 prints of all the illustrations below, as well as a limited edition artists' book, are all available from the Owl & Lion gallery. The A4 prints cost £20, the book costs £15.
The Owl & Lion Gallery also has an online shop.
