You Silly NPC

2019, 15 × 11 Inches, Gouache on paper
Available for 1500 USD

The final painting I’ve ever made that features prominent linework, marking the end of my graphical painting style all together. Still retaining the love of video games, this painting asks a question. Are you sure you’re not an NPC? Because the alternative is to be the player character, and that isn’t a lot better. Here, we see a fresh take on the Puppet Master trope. The strings replaced with a game controller. An allegory for outside influence dictating ones persona of being the hero in their story.
