The goal of this project was to complete a series of illustrations based on a narrative that contains strong environmental elements and themes. Without relying on figures, the environment should be able to give the viewer a sense of the geography, time period, and lifestyles and personalities of the characters that exist within it. The narrative I chose to explore is a poem called “David” by Earle Birney.
