Senior Thesis
Striving Artists began as a graphic novel project. The story is adapted from my real life: from my personal experience of senior year, and my thoughts and fears about my life post-graduation.
After fighting with a manuscript for weeks, I shifted to working on full color spreads, exploring characters and environments, and developing my own style.
Each piece is based on life experiences with my friends, or an adaptation of my feelings into symbolic work.
I intend to finish my manuscript and continue fleshing out these characters and their world. Now that I’ve lived all the way through senior year, I’m excited to keep illustrating my finished story.
