Eleven different characters that hangs on the wall that has frames that surrounds them all, is my thesis project.
“Come one, come all to this Creepy Community that doesn’t have it all. As this is the Creepy Community and they are meant to represent different aspects of my personality, as well as to show the bonds of belonging into a community. Each character has their own name, looks, and patterns that goes with them. It’s to show how each personality trait of mine is unique, just like how each person and animal is unique as well. So, I created the Creepy Community by using only red, white, and black as my colour scheme. Then by drawing by hand, using photoshop, then having them digitally printed was the beginning of creating them. I used different techniques like embroidery as it can add another element to them, so they can stand out from the rest. This is how they became to be; this is the Creepy Community!”
