#1 People


Unit 65 wheatpaste illustration
People serve as a constant inspiration for me. It is important to not only find inspiration in the places you go, and things that you do and see, but also from the people you surround yourself by with. This is why in this illustration I drew myself in-between my two best friends. For fun, we go to as many art openings and concerts here in Seattle as possible, and we love to get dressed up before. Many times my friends or I will wear something that I have made. I designed the outfits to suit each of our personalities as if we were dressing to go to one of these events- an art opening or concert. For the inspiration of this piece, I wanted to mix in graffiti since street art is something I am constantly being inspired by. The street art I find myself most attracted to is bright, playful, and vibrant- and I wanted to emulate that carefree style in this piece.
