    Figures and Architecture
    This project demonstrates both figure drawing and landscape architecture. There is a park in my hometown of Modesto, CA, called Dry Creek Park, and it is a hotspot for runners and athletes. The drawing presents a community service idea for an athlete's center/pavilion in the park. This would include new bathrooms, a storage room/rental center for equipment, and a covered area for stretching or workouts. The plants are all California natives, and the fashion is inspired by 80s and 90s athletic wear. graphicdesigner illustrator designer…
    Coexist Or We Won't Exist
    The purpose of this project is to exemplify the fact that humans depend on insects and they should be respected and protected. The moth is based off of a Kern primrose sphinx moth, which is endangered and only exists in two small parts of California, one of which is San Louis Obispo. The landscape is based off the green hills of San Louis Obispo, and the flower in the foreground is a desert columbine, which can also be found in the area. The human and moth mimic each other's forms to show how intertwined the lives of humans and insects are. graphicdesigner illustrator designer…
