Meet "James"

James is, in many ways, the person that I want to be. He's a reflection of self. He's also more than that. "James" can be anyone. Everyone wears a mask at some point; if you took off his mask, you would see me or you or someone you know. He's a broken kid, that's trying to be happy,  and stay positive.

He started out as little more than a spin-off of this graffiti art I had been looking at during class. But he slowly evolved the more I drew him and fell in love.

It's a new goal of mine to start a mini comic of sorts, and have it be like the comics in the Sunday paper. But instead of brainless humor, there would be a point, and a message in each strip. Like the old Calvin and Hobbs comics. So, hopefully there will be plenty of James seen in the future, on a grander scale than just my sketchbook and blog.
