Work In Progress-Character Scene

Here's a preview of my character scene. In the scene, a business man goes to Jane's office for an interview to see if she is qualified for a new architectural assignment. After hearing how professional and great her work is, he was surprised to see that her office was filled with pink. The entire room was pink, like Candyland. When his boss called to see if she was qualified- in embarrassment, he stuttered out his reply.

Artist-A-Day: Dan Dubowitz

       The artist I chose was Dan Dubowitz. I personally found interest in this image because it lures the viewer into the vanishing point. Another thing I liked about the image is that not only does Dubowitz use the architectural structure to make a statement, he also uses props to promote curiosity and interest. It brings the  viewer to question, "Why there are so many books thrown on the floor? What books are they? What message is he sending through this image?" And there are many more questions that arise. I like that the image has a mysterious feel to it. It makes me want to know what is behind the walls and where the location of the structure is.

Sample Character and Research

                    My cartoon character’s name is Jane. She is a business woman who seems very sassy and stylistic, but is very serious when it comes to her work; and it shows. I chose to use her as my character because that is the type of person I am. Her personality is very out-going and friendly. Her character could be used on logos for coffee mug companies or even t-shirts. An example of a scenario would include her working in an office late at night.  Usually people would usually be home by that time, but being the hard worker she is, she is still there and looking like she did when she had just walked out of the door.
