New Orleans artist Bunny Matthews has contributed a series of illustrations to The Audubon Zoo’s Insectarium. The illustrations give a history of New Orleans from the point of view of an often over looked resident of the city: cockroaches. The series is called “A Roach’s History of New Orleans” and spans the city’s entire history–from its discovery by Bienville, to the invention of jazz, and of course hurricane Katrina. “A Roach’s History of New Orleans” is a funny and original look at some of the major events in the city’s history told in Bunny’s signature artistic style, check out the entire series in our gallery:
