Man/Animal


Little illustrations to do with my last project, on gang members. When they have the courage and strength to leave their past life in the gang behind, they are strong and free as a bear in the wild, or a lion or a tiger. But just like a tigers stripes are always on his body, and the lion has none, they are both as strong as each other. When a ex -gang member gets his tattoos removed, he is still the same person he was before, just as strong, but the markings are only there in his knowledge - not the visible public's eyes.
