Sketching out my paintings

I constantly doubt my worth as an artist, but every now and then I remember that my talent at illustrating in conjunction with my story concepts come together to create the art which defines who I am.

Here's a sketch of the next piece in my "Modern Day Religion" series. This series aims to show the dark side of society as good and just, while the good aspects of our society are illustrated as evil and demonic. The painting this sketch is of will be entitled "Demons of speech". It tackles the issue of freedom speech and how the system would have us view it as a source of evil.


Here we have the demons of protest, demons of the internet, and demons of the press (hard to see, it is a figure with a camera).
