This is the bottom half of a diptych. Here is what the two pictures look like together.
At the time I was working in an animation studio. I was very interested in story and science fiction. Everyday I worked on a computer and everyday I longed to paint and draw. These images came out of my little stories. These are from a story that I called Sucker City, about our huge vacuum like, consumerism. A need to conform, a pressure to use all our resources in careless ways and that by doing so we lose little bits of ourselves.
