2014 Evolution of the Emoticon, District Library Gallery, North Vancouver, BC (Solo)
Year2014-16MediumIllustratorDimensions4 X 5.5 each (6 X 8 including frame)DescriptionI chose to create this series as an evolution of the emoticons. An emoticon is a pictorial representation of a facial expression using punctuation marks, numbers and letters, usually written to express a person’s feelings or mood; they are predominately used in text messages and social media applications. In this series I tried to create a hybrid character that speaks to both the current fascination with emoticons and comic book characters.
