Concept Sketches



Inspiring Illustrators

My First Choice is Gary Larson. He had a certain style that was his own. In other words, one could look at his work and know who's it was.

Alexei Vella is my second. Alexi's works has that soviet propaganda/ old weathered look. I really like it.

My third choice would have to be Sanna Annukka. Her work has an almost native American feel.

3 Articles

My First choice is an article from The Economist entitled "Storing up risk." The editorial is about the dangers of eastern european ammnuition dumps that kill hundreds of people annually due to poor management.

My Second choice is from The Stranger, entitled "Sentenced to a life of unemployment." It's about how people who have felonies on their criminal records cannot get a job because employers don't care to even grant interviews.

My last choice is an editorial called "From Hunger." It's about a woman's struggle with an eating disorder and her misguided rejection of her lifestyle and her short lived experience as a hobo.
