I decided to work with the idea of unintended dangerous situations. 

DeVICE

I had worked up a photo illustration that I tried to screenprint that worked extremely well for this theme. My daughter held an iPad and I shot the photo in a dark room so her face appeared to be lit by the iPad. I then photographed my wife's hand in a menacing position and composed it around my daughter to appear like she was ready to be snatched up by some sort of digital presence.

Take a Seat

There is plenty of research out there that a sedentary lifestyle has a profound affect on one's health. This illustration, made in Illustrator, uses a very simple set of geometry and symmetry to depict the danger. 

In Deep with Opioids

I have been working hard on a video production showing the dangers of opioid use disorder and the affects of the drugs on the brain. This image used the lure of the anglerfish to show the pill as the sole focus of the minnows and the dangers situation they are in.

P3 - Illustrated Narrative

This fun—and painful story was first published in the Manchester, England, Guardian and later reprinted in the Deseret News.

Respected Sirs:
When I got to the building I found that the hurricane had knocked some bricks off the top. So I rigged up a beam with a pulley at the top of the building and hoisted up a couple of barrels full of bricks. When I had fixed the building, there was a lot of bricks left over. I hoisted the barrel back up again and secured the line at the bottom, and then went up and filled the barrel with the extra bricks. Then I went to the bottom and cast off the line. Unfortunately the barrel of bricks was heavier than I was, and before I knew what was happening the barrel started down, jerking me off the ground. I decided to hang on, and halfway up I met the barrel coming down and received a severe blow on the shoulder. I then continued to the top, banging my head against the beam and getting my finger jammed in the pulley. When the barrel hit the ground it bursted its bottom, allowing all the bricks to spill out. I was now heavier than the barrel and so started down again at high speed. Halfway down, I met the barrel coming up and received severe injuries to my shins. When I hit the ground I landed on the bricks, getting several painful cuts from the sharp edges. At this point I must have lost my presence of mind because I let go of the line. The barrel then came down, giving me another heavy blow on the head and putting me in the hospital. I respectfully request sick leave.

I intend to build this out as a comic strip or a storyboard. Still haven't quite decided.

Comic strip it is...

Mr Bates has a certain style that he uses watercolors with Prismacolor for the line work. I think with the tropical island location of the story, the watercolor will be a good fit.
