Trashcanimals
At one point, I was commuting from a bus to a train to bus again twice a day. I wanted to start a series that I could do on just these journeys, something that allowed my mind to go wild, something that would cater to the happy accidents that can happen on public transportation during stop on go traffic on the pothole stricken downtown streets. So I tried a few crazy animals and got addicted to mixing and matching them. I try not to stress about the realism of them too much; some of them definitely lean on the cartoonier side. I'll research a little on my phone if I flagrantly don't know what I'm taking on but that's about it. I call them Trashcanimals because my only non-moving break while working on them was for ten minutes waiting for my connection. During that time I drew on the top of a large Dunkin' Donuts flat-top trashcan. One of my favorite parts of the whole process is coming up with names for each of them.
