Un-commissioned | Professional

Why did you make this work:
This image is from a self-initiated COVID diary. The reason for this personal project was to investigate my artistic voice through a consistent series of small daily projects. I was motivated by the opportunity to find out more about the unifying themes and ideas that create my voice, and experiment with a style that compliments those themes.

How was the illustration used:
Self promotion

How did you make this work:
This was created digitally. I chose to make every diary image within a square, to participate in the pervasive practice of maintaining a public image-based diary on social media, specifically instagram, which requires a square format. My diary happened to be illustrated selfies, rather than photographed selfies.
