Graphic Novel: Don't Forget Your Sunscreen!




Working on this project I changed my mind multiple times as to what my subject was (this is becoming a problem as I need more "iteration"). First, I started with the idea that I wanted to paint a girl, showing her transformation from the beginning of the day to the end. But as I began painting it, the story felt so cliche and I wasn't happy with how the work was coming out. BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD (errrr storyboard I should say). As I was in my room, there was a sculpture that I had made earlier, that reminded me of a cactus, and wouldn't it be funny if the one thing a cactus needs, the sun, is what kills him. To create this graphic novel I used a mixture of photography, collage, and sculpture. Overall, I'm very pleased with the end result, with the dark twist in the plot.
