Story: Jack and the Beanstalk

Environmental Issue: Deforestation/ Illegal Logging

The original story had no moral lesson and showed Jack as a bad "'hero' gaining the sympathy of a man's wife, hiding in his house, robbing, and finally killing him." I wanted to highlight the greed of the character, Jack, who in this version is a logger, and the sorrow of the singing harp (who in the original story also did not want to be stolen from the giant) as she sees the destruction Jack has caused with his greed. The point of the image is to criticize the act of taking too much from the land.

Lee Bowen - Migration

Finished image in color pencil and marker.

Lee Bowen - Migration Sketches

 My story focuses on a Lebanese family returning home from Syria with the help of the IOM, who loads a bus of refugees and escorts them home. 

 Option 1: Showing the family on the bus, traveling by destroyed neighborhoods.

Option 2: Showing the IOM loading the bus of refugees, giving them some supplies. The families carry all they own with them and say goodbye to friends they have sheltered with who cannot yet return home.

Lee Bowen - 3D Assignment: Summer

Being from Florida, summer means palm trees, beaches, sea shells, and lawn gnomes! Florida has all of these all year long because we have only two seasons there: Summer and Christmas.
