Behind the Curtain: A Junior Self-Portrait Illustration by Blake Moran (2013)

My Illustration is of a puppet show and comes from a part in my poem where I talk about people not seeing what's underneath the surface of a person. In a puppet show, often kids get so caught up in the puppets and the story that they forget that the puppets are not actually real. There are puppeteers behind the puppets making them move and bringing them to life. Kids never think about the puppeteers, only the puppets themselves. Just like in life, people seem to often focus too much on the obvious traits of a person without really getting to know them. They get too caught up in what they look like or their first impression that they never really get to know the person deeper.
