It was around the age of five where my imagination took hold of me. Every cardboard box, piece of paper, and roll of tape I could find was being used to create toys and sculptures. Often these creations would be crude attempts to replicate fascinating imagery from my favorite TV shows or video games. This passion to record that which I love and connect to has stayed with me. It has made me the artist I am today.
For the past few years I have grown to love character illustration. Characters act as a bridge for artists to walk within their favorite memories and interests while being boundless in the face of creativity. Ed, Edd n Eddy was and still is my favorite cartoon. This project was an outlet to share just a small amount of love I have for this show. Within the show there is a flower know as a Baby Blue Gym Sock. I selected this imagery to be the core of my project not only for its simplistic beauty, but because I knew it could be transformed in a way that would transcend average respect for the show. Before you is a fashion collection digitally tailored to grasp the appeal of the public, while simultaneously singing out to those who were equally as entertained and inspired by this cartoon just as I was. This small journey has sparked a fire to continue to bathe my characters in the memories that brought me joy all those years ago.
