Hello All, these are my final sketches:

1 –  The first one deals with the LGBTQ adoption laws. it portraits some storks being thought that they should not deliver babies to gay couples. The storks represent the adoptions agencies that make nearly impossible for gay couples to adopt in the US.

2 – Deals with global warming and the effects that the melting ice caps will have on environment.

3 – the third sketch is a variation of the second sketch.

Please let me know what your thoughts are on these.

Thanks!

Anthony

The illustration I chose is “The Whale Who Lived on a Faraway Hill”

This piece was created by David Ouimet using Carbon Dust as the medium. Which is a way of using carbon dust that I was not even aware existed. However, the main reason why I chose this piece, is because of the sadness and sense of loneliness it evokes when you look at it. You can’t help but feel sad and distressed for the whale; so different and out of its natural environment. A feeling we can all relate to at some point in our lives.

This piece was commission by Asuka Shinshan, for a Japanese reprint of a children’s book called Daydreams for Night.
