Sad Pierrot series

This series originally started with this fixation I had on pierrot figurines and knights. Don’t ask me how the two relate but I figured I would play around with the idea of this character that dawns the mask of a pierrot that has been shattered and put back together (influence from the Japanese “kintsugi” which is this ceramic practice of putting something back together with the use of lacquer and powdered gold.).

Then the next set of illustrations slowly became different representations of emotions I’ve felt throughout the week. Every time I had an idea, I drew a little sketch then it became a full on illustration.
