I want to start out by saying, I am not an artist, in any way whatsoever. I admire artists, I envy them sometimes, for being able to create something from nothing. So this assignment was a bit… challenging.

After reading through all of the details Professor Seslow mentioned in the assignment post, I was able to come up with something for figma. I always loved Monty Python, and it was referenced a lot in my other class Motion Graphics so I find their style very intriguing and comical. I know John Cleese was part of Monty Python, and he also had a cameo in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer Stone.

So while it’s not my best work, I thought I would combine the style of Monty Python with his character, Nearly Headless Nic, also known as Sir Nicholas. Now I forgot to take screenshots of my work but I did take a few.

For my figma page, I wanted to capture the theme of Monty Python, which was difficult given they illustrated a lot of their work themselves. But nonetheless, I found an image of a sword and a hand that worked. I used a photo from a few decades back of John Cleese, photoshopped his head separately from his body and got a mediocre attempt at digital art.

Now for mmm.page I had a lot more fun! The task was to create a page with digital art, encapsulating something you’re passionate about, which took a lot of thinking. I decided to use the page to list some organizations that help animals and people. My Page
