THE EVOLUTION OF A CREATIVE VOICE THROUGH ILLUSTRATION

 

When I used to deliver pizzas, I thought, "these tips are good, but things would be better if I didn’t have to ride this moped." So, I became a taxi driver. Once I became a taxi driver, I thought, "I’m lovely and warm in here, but I wish I didn’t have to talk to people."

 

So, I became a lorry driver. When I was a lorry driver, I thought, "it’s nice that I’m left alone all day, but I should really be doing something creative." So, I began freelancing. At last, I was a designer without a boss. I thought, "this is amazing, but I wish I could get clients to use my illustrations as well as my layouts." So, I began selling some illustrations. After a while, I thought, "I’m very grateful that I’m able to sell illustrations, but are these really the kind I want to do?"

 

Anyway, this is what it’s come to. This is what I end up with when I’m left to my own devices—black and white drawings of the places in between places. These aren’t photogenic or noteworthy. These aren’t the kinds of places that get Instagrammed or celebrated in travel blogs. They’re the places that are often overlooked, left in the background of our daily lives. A series of unloveable landscapes. I hope you like them.​
