Senior Show Exhibition

A few weeks ago I was in my very first public art exhibition. The Fishmarket Gallery in downtown Raleigh (an art gallery completely run by students of the College of Design) hosted the annual senior show for graduating design students.

It was a pretty amazing, exciting and terrifying experience. We had a great turnout and several hundred people viewed my work and the work of my fellow design students.






My exhibit focused on my development into what I call a visual storyteller. My display consisted of hand drawn cartoons, comics, greeting cards, hand made books and a few animations. The display was a departure from the usual design school assignments, but I decided to showcase what I know and like to do best.

Overall, I think the turnout and experience was a great one. I am blessed to have been able to be a part of such a neat College of Design send off show, and I think it also helped me realize what type of art and design I enjoy the most.

The high point of the exhibit was meeting my professor's aunt who insisted that I take up political cartooning full-time.

I wish it were that easy.
