Diana Scherer - Nurture Studies (2012)
Here’s a bunch of recent sketches of a few characters that I’ve had bouncing around my head. They’re bouncing pretty close to something I might try fleshing out into a comic sometime for practice, but no promises.
The word Helframe has been stuck in my head for a while so I’ll probably call it that. Probably have something to do with transformation sequences and demon fights.
(I vomited lots of captions up on the pictures instead of rambling down here teehee)
WIP- ‘Medusa’. There are days when I think I should stop w/ the marker stuff already. But dammitall, they’re a ton of fun.

Earth, 2012
Geographic and national borders are deleted from a map of Earth, leaving only the names of cities and countries. These are then overlayed on top of a high resolution map of Mars, creating a future image of the planet Earth where our current notions of culture and nationality cease to exist.

In my work I aim to explore themes of individuality and representation. My subjects are imprisoned, diluted, marginalized. Their escape, however, is imminent. Whether a symptom of corporate and social homogenization, or the four base pairs of DNA, we are products of just a small handful of variables. In five colors of plastic, you can be reproduced.

Virtual supermarkets are popping up in subway stations in South Korea, where commuters can virtually shop for items while waiting for the train to come. Customers simply scan an item’s QR code using the free “Homeplus” app and can have it delivered to their doorstep before they even get home. Ranked as the 2nd most hard-working country in the world to Japan, South Korea is rewarding its workers with this timesaving gem.

In the large city of Taichung, Taiwan, what was once known as a military dependents’ village is now called the Rainbow Village. 86-year-old Haung Yung-Fu has covered every square inch of wall space in colorful paintings. The buildings were slated to be torn down but the mayor has promised to preserve this amazing man’s labor of love.
