I just wrapped up my final project for my Minor in Writing&#8217;s Gateway course (Writing 220), and I wanted to share some of the illustrations I had the opportunity to make for it. Our projects are semester-long &#8220;experiments&#8221; all centered around one &#8220;origin piece,&#8221; something we wrote when we were younger that we want to explore the ideas of. My origin piece was an old article I wrote about a trend in which people tried to watch the most disturbing media possible \u2014 fascinating, I know. In relation to this, I wanted to reconcile with my younger self, who, in a frenzy of wanting to feel &#8220;older&#8221; did a similar thing, getting really into online horror. The above illustration bridges the gap between present Me and younger Me&#8217;s mindsets, showing us sitting together and drawing &#8220;My Little Pony&#8221; characters in awe of each other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"521\" data-id=\"24520\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame2.png 563w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame2-300x278.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"563\" height=\"521\" data-id=\"24521\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame1.png 563w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/writ220-frame1-300x278.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I also got to make these cool introductory illustrations, paying homage to the old Internet and displaying both versions of myself trapped in MS Paint tabs. I&#8217;m really happy with these ones! Thanks to arts, ink., I really feel like I&#8217;ve nailed how I like to draw myself. Below I&#8217;ll share some other illustrations I&#8217;m happy with too! In my project&#8217;s story, I depicted my young self exploring a haunted house, hence the spooky stuff. Thanks for looking\/reading, and good luck wrapping up the semester! I sure need it, haha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"484\" data-id=\"24522\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust5.png 600w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust5-300x242.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"542\" height=\"350\" data-id=\"24523\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24523\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust3.png 542w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust3-300x194.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"623\" height=\"464\" data-id=\"24524\" src=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-24524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust2.png 623w, https:\/\/artsatmichigan.umich.edu\/ink\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/220illust2-300x223.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi all, hope your preparations for finals are going well (if you&#8217;re a student like myself, that is)!
