# Humorously Offensive Illustrations Rudeness and Honesty Merge in Lyvia Aylward-Davies's New Work By | Published 2013-05-22 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lyvia-aylwarddavies References: [designtaxi](http://designtaxi.com/news/357771/Funny-Politically-Incorrect-Illustrations-That-Say-It-Like-It-Is/) & [lyviaillustration.blogspot.sg](http://lyviaillustration.blogspot.sg/) London-based model and illustrator Lyvia Aylward-Davies tells it like it is with her new work. Aylward-Davies uses a [minimalist style to create drawings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/doodlify) similar to those found in children's storybooks but that is the extent of the similarities between her work and kid-friendly storybook pictures. Lyvia Aylward-Davies adds offensively honest captions to her work, giving her [colorful drawings a darker undertone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-x-tappei). One such work depicts a young woman wearing a colorful green shirt, saying: "You'll do, I guess." Another work shows an illustrated rear-end with the colorful words, "I like your butt" flashing above the cartoon-esque drawing. With these drawings, Aylward-Davies manages to maintain a lighthearted attitude while boldly stating hard truths that some may find offensive. Others, however, will find these drawings nothing but hilarious. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Offensive Illustrations:** Embracing brutal honesty in artwork can disrupt traditional expectations and challenge societal norms. - **Humorous Art:** Blending humor with artwork creates an opportunity to engage audiences and spark conversations. - **Bold Minimalism:** Applying minimalist style to provocative illustrations can create a visually striking and thought-provoking aesthetic. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** The art industry can explore new boundaries by incorporating offensive humor into various artistic mediums. - **Publishing:** The publishing industry can tap into the demand for edgy and humorous illustrations that cater to unconventional tastes. - **Digital Media:** Digital media platforms can embrace offensive yet funny illustrations to attract and entertain online audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cheekily Creative Bookmarks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illustrated-bookmarks.md) - [Sexuality-Exploring Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rude-arts-club.md) - [Raunchy Anime-Inspired Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manuela-soto-sosa.md) - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Celebratory Odd Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ridiculous-design.md) - [Personality-Forward Bookmark Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humdrum-paper.md) - [Glamorous Artful Bronze Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-jane.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md) - [Playful Cat Illustrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/open-meow.md)
