Illustration
This project titled 'Endangered' covers a series of illustrations depicting endangered animals, some being on the brink of extinction, these illustrations really echoes my practice for what it is now. 
Drawing characters has always been a passion of mine as they have the great capacity to highlight issues we have to today and tell powerful stories.
Most of my themes if not all come from the natural world and the wildlife we share the planet with. The subjects i have chosen for this project all come under the umbrella of being endangered all due to the issue of human involvement in a severe capacity, be it hunted or the loss of habitat they live in. This topic of wildlife protection is one that is always in circulation but now more than ever is this message needed to be pushed further if we are to save the wonders are planet can have.
My hope for this project would be to spark a form of empathy and highlight these subjects across all audiences young and old. By playing upon playful forms and highlighting the majesty these animals have, I hope to trigger this emotion.
