Past Work
Residency Work
From a very young age, I have always been very interested in comics and animation, which ultimately led to the creation of this. This piece, comic panel, is an exploration of art style and visual storytelling. It depicts an opening scene of a story entitled ‘Neutral’ that I created when I was thirteen. This was heavily inspired by the shows I was watching and the stories I was reading at the time. In this scene you can see the main character, Asa, walking through this crowded and bustling city before being stopped by a stranger. During my process for this piece, I decided that I wanted the viewer to be able to see the progression from the city environment and buildings to the people within that city, in order to gain a better understanding of the world building and the region that this takes place in. I also experimented with line weight and other stylistic choices in order to make the panel more visually appealing and to highlight the key elements of this scene.
