The Idealist
So, from 2014-2015 I was working at my first serious job in national news, my shift was 3 am to 1 pm. One of the things I did to keep from suffocating in headline graphics, action photos and the general pace of an active newsroom is create these little sketches on my lunch break. I started creating these little characters in photoshop often using selfies as references and it became a game to see if I could get through one by the time my break ended. Is there a story? who knows? Thematically I like to think they are about forms of escape, or an ideal outcome. These ended up being used a production pieces and art demo material for workshops I’ve held.
