As a political scientist researching the relationship between material conditions and human reaction, I immediately knew how to approach this Sketch assignment. It’s a perfect opportunity to turn my research inward and determine how much wealth impacts me personally as a motivating and limiting factor. I had two weeks to collect data. Although not the […]
Read moreGeneral Observations Based on the patterns observed: Artists and Bands I mostly listen to: Aside from house music (a genre of EDM) artists, most of these musicians have songs with lyrics. When I say I listen to songs without lyrics, I mean I enjoy instrumental versions of songs that originally have lyrics. For example, I […]
Read moreMy quadriptych is about a ironic conversation of two groups, one pair of farmers and a pair of cattle. The funny part of the comic is that while the human are trying to be empathetic with the death of farm animals, the animals view human’s empathize as a pity. This comic wants to emphasize that […]
Read moreFor this sketch, I first determined that I wanted to investigate something related to my overall fulfillment in life.

Read moreMy comic plays on the double meaning of a “black diamond” run. Most people recognize the black diamond as a symbol of a difficult ski slope, but in my comic, it’s a literal black diamond at the end of the run! I spent a lot of time developing both the idea and the artwork, and […]
Read moreI have no idea where I got the idea for this comic but it just popped into my brain during our class. We were talking about something completely unrelated and suddenly I was like “what if there were these fish that were sketical of a restaurant serving obviously hooked worms.” And so I took 5 […]
Read moreWriting my narrative as comic was significantly more difficult for me than I thought it would be going into the project. Given the time constraint, lack of excellent drawing skills, and length suggestions, I had a hard time figuring out what moments to keep and what to omit. The written literacy narrative was relatively easy […]
Read moreRead my Literary Narrative Part 2 Here Converting my literary narrative into a comic for the first time was an eye-opening experience. It allowed me to approach my literary narrative from an entirely new perspective. Adding visual components and restricting myself to four pages (per the assignment requirements) prompted me to reduce my original writing […]
