This image I created for the Zine project. Each building is made up using text from a fire fighters survival story. I got the idea from a piece of work I did in A Levels where I painted the New York skyline but painted the twin towers red to symbolise the death toll and had the paint running down the page. I thought at the time it would be a good idea to make the buildings out of text using the names of all the people that died, but I never followed through with the idea.

This is another image I created for the Zine project. The quote is a famous quote Kanye West said on live TV, where he said George Bush is killing black people in New Orleans after Katrina hit, and continued to say "George Bush doesn't care about black people"

In the water I placed a Black Water logo, which is a "private security company" that works in Iraq as private forces, and also in New Orleans. I did this because Black Water became famous for shooting looters who in reality where helpless American citizens looking for food.

Again another image I made whilst practising with photoshop.

Made this when I was still new to photoshop. I was practising blending images together and trying to make it look as realistic as possible by adding the lens flare

I drew these images using MS Paint and a tablet. Done a few years ago whilst I was doing fine art at A Level.
