Illustration Artist Statement: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Kendall Simon (2011)

For our illustration project we were assigned to create two images that represent a good trait that has a bad trait along with it. A good trait of mine is that I am confident and seem strong, but at the same time it leads me to get hurt and not being able to express it. I decided to create a hammer and a brick. The brick represents how I seem confident and strong on the outside, but I can easily be cracked. My self confidence can only hold so long until a hammer hits me and I crack. The hammer was made to show how people can effect me and my strong outer shell stops me from being able to express my true emotions. My feelings get locked up inside the brick and eventually it all gets to me.
