The Heroes and Villains Collection actually spans most of my high school career, with 2 18’’x 24’’ posterboard made each year. These artworks serve as time capsules for each year, reflecting my high school’s perceptions of who they identify as heroes and villains. The process was simple, I would interview students, teachers, and staff across the school with a simple question,” Who is your favorite hero/villain?”, cataloguing and writing down every answer I was given into my sketchbook, usually tallying about 150-200 responses. Of course, I’d get a lot of repeats because usually the first thing that pops into people’s heads are extremely popular icons like Superman or The Joker, for example, but I would ask them to think beyond that. I would then compile and draw them using multimedia onto the posterboards, each one sporting characters from history, books, movies, games, tv shows, life, and more.
