My favourite thing about art has always been the ability to create characters and share stories. Even as a child, I would cut out my drawings and play with them. Using Posca pens, I created a vibrant and colourful piece. I take most of my inspiration from my favourite artists, including Dan Mora and Jim Lee. I wanted this artwork to feel adventurous but also leave room for the audience to make a story of their own. The characters are: a reigning monarch, a knight under her command and a sorcerer who may be working behind the scenes in the shadows. What could their intentions be?
