I'm starting a new project.
Yes I know that I do start a lot of projects, but hey we have to entertain and occupy the restless soul.
This project is titled, 'oh, the people you will see'.
The basics behind this project is that as much as I can, I am going to be drawing/documenting different types of people that I see in my day to day life. I find it quite bizarre the amount of people that we come into contact with every single day, yet pass them off as mere extras as if we were the star of the Truman Show. But no, thats not quite right. For the amount of people that we do see everyday, there are thousands if not millions of stories that have created their entire being. Occasionally I find my self, and if you are slightly put off by this I do not blame you, imagining their (as in the random strangers I meet) life stories.
Bill Frank Smith over there was born in to a low class family which was struggling financially because his father was a jobless alcoholic. He, though, in spite of his father, strove to make something of himself so that he could defy the stereotypes of our society and our class bondage, and thus be able to adequately provide for his family as his father could not. Bill is now a lawyer who is so successful that he now does pro-bono for the lower class of society.

Jill Elizabeth White's cat died today. She was awfully fond of that cat, so she isn't doing too well.
I hate the fact that I can go through a whole day, being completely submerged in myself that I fail to even notice those around me. The way they dress, their hair, their stance, their stride- everything speaks of a life and story un told.
I want to draw as many people as I can. People who will one day amount to nothing more than the people that they are.
Everything will be cartoon style, though I do not make any promises of grand works as I am but a mere human. But I will carry around my little book and document different aspects of strangers. Then one day when I have some cats of my own I will look through my collection and be glad that I have been blessed to see so many different types of people.
If you want to be part of this project feel free to let me know and I'll see if I can draw you up :)
This is in no way intended to be stalker-ish in any way, shape or form. Rather it is a unique form of documentation where ones privacy is are maintained.
