This is a piece I did for the Standard Times Newspaper in New Bedford, MA. Our illustration class at Umass Dartmouth was given the task of creating an image to go along with an article on travel, specifically entailing the unexpected things that can happen when you travel. The best image of our class would be on the front page of the section. I battled with this composition until the very end, and then started painting at 3 or 5 pm the night before we presented it to the board. No pressure! I never expected to win it. But one morning, 1 in the morning to be exact, a few weeks later, I got an email congratulating me. Mine had been chosen. Thankfully the newspaper also included my classmates images in the rest of the section. Everyone did a great job!
