this is my last illustration for the summer project. It is about an article that I found quiet funny and yet really annoying at the same time. its about how buses are now using a system of free tickets for people who for some reason or another "deserve" them for the time being during the economic problems of the moment, as well as the problems of congestion that these free passengers are causing. I understand the elderly and the disabled (properly disabled, not vertigo or ADHD or something that allows you to function like a normal person all the time unless your getting something for free( excuse my rant but that kind of thing really irritates me)) along with some parents(hell you got four kids under seven,two in a pram, six bags of shopping from tesco, no car and you can keep the buggers quiet on the way home, I'll pay your bloody fair) thoses things i compleatly understand but there has to be some lee-way. I found the original illustration rather funny, more from the art style than the comment.
due to the fact that the original illustration was on a bus I decided to try to keep mine focused on the outside of the vehicle. the thought of people waiting an hour and above for the bus got me thinking. How long would you wait for a bus to get somewhere? so I began playing around with having people in sleeping bags and there being elderly people who had been waiting for ages and stuff. then i thought "what else to people wait around for?" - answer the opening of shops for sales, box office tickets, people were camping out on the pavement for the release of Harry potter books. People will wait for pretty much anything if they really want it. So i decided that there would be people waiting for the bus who had been there that long that they had set up an imprompture, (again my spelling sucks, I got dyslexia, or dyspraxia, or something to do with how I cant read of certain colours and some sizes of letters) camp site. I liked this idea and even though this was just a first sketch it is the one i liked the best.
this was finished on the 25th of august.
