As an artist, I have always been told that one\u2019s greatest inspiration comes from our own personal life and its experiences. I find this to be very true, and that is exactly what the heart of my series is. My works are illustrations that follow the story of a little cat that has a lot to learn and he ends up going on an adventure of a lifetime. For this story I took inspiration from my real-life pets and used my interpretation of them to give them their personalities. If there is anything I want for viewers to take from this story it is that no matter what obstacles one faces in life, they can get through them.<\/p>

My works are illustrations of moments from my story following my main character and my two supporting characters. I painted them digitally with Adobe Photoshop, I chose to do this project in a digital format because of my newfound love for digital art. As you can see in each illustration, they show them in their own environments and them interacting with each other. I decided to paint them and their environments in a more cartoony style as I feel that it would be more appealing to my audience who are both younger and older. Other than real-life, some other forms of inspiration come from many artist that have worked in the animation industry such as Glen Kean, and Dean DeBlois. I love their art styles and how they tell compelling stories through the medium of art and animation. For the future of my story, I hope to bring it to life in the form of animation to further share it with others.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
