This watercolor illustration print portrays a young man in jean shorts, high socks, a blue bandana, and an oversized white t-shirt, smoking a cigarette and holding a bag of herbs. The piece is subtle and illustrative, exploring the theme of youthful fascination with a dangerous lifestyle — the kind of choices kids are drawn to when trying to appear older or tougher than they are.
I used softer colors to illustrate the reality of the child’s gentle interior while everything surrounding him creates a tension with his surroundings, simply because we know they are wrong. There is an allure to this ‘dangerous’ lifestyle he is leading while he has a false sense of security on his face.
It’s the kind of artwork that can sit quietly on a wall as an illustration, but also resonates for those interested in storytelling and exploring the human psyche through art.
