I’m a young man with many dreams and a wide range of interests. It was a challenge to come up with a piece that describes me on one sheet of paper. I usually go for black and white such as pen or pencil, but I decided to change my norm, to embrace colour and to show my ability to adapt. The medium for my spread is wax pastels, fine liner and pencil on paper. The bright colours show my outgoing nature and the line drawing shows my more serious/focused side. I have also included colour to show my pride in being gay. I enjoyed making this as I display my love for rustic and modern aesthetics.

The combined flag is centred as it is one of the biggest changes in my life, I was born and raised in South Africa and moved to Canada in January 2021. It also shows how proud I am that I was able to move across the world by myself, not to mention whilst in the overly stated pandemic. My journey from one country to another is represented by the paper plane behind the flag post.

I am very pleased with how it turned out and I’m excited to show you more of my work in the near future.
