Common English idioms explained - as cool as a cucumber

Roisin Hahessy, Irish illustrator who moved to Joinville, Brazil, when he started learning a new language, as well as teach English. It has inspired him to create a series of wonderful illustrations that explain the meaning of popular English idioms.

When I stopped to think about some English idioms and their literal meaning, I found some of them very funny and thought it would be a nice idea to pick a few of the most common idioms and illustrate them.

All the images are available on Hahessy’s website. You can also buy them as prints, iPhone/iPad cases, or tote bags on Society6.
