I did an illustration for the Rio Carnival, and it was sort of an experiment of scanning in textures painted from my raggedy brush. My sister sent me photos of the Rio Carnival and it looked absolutely insane with the explosions of colour, so I wanted to capture that with this project
At the portfolio show, an ACAD alumni (Maddi Matthews) was looking through my sketchbook and was freaking out about one of my tiny sketches that looked like Larry, so she ran around showing everyone. Haha, I guess I totally forgot about it up til then.
