ARTIST STATEMENT

The main focus of this project is to use RPI's two mascots, the Engineer and the Redhawk, to satire and address why we, the engineers, are here and what the experience is like. The formula for drawing was simple and the text was abstract as seen in Explodingdog.com and CreaturesInMyHead.com. The basis of this art style was first introduced by the PopArt movement with Roy Lichtenstein as my main reference. Lastly, satire was influenced by editorial cartoons and their prodding references to everyday life. All of these are explained in greater detail above.
