This project is called ‘Fruit Salad’ a set of concept art pieces for a group of girl racers – though some are non-binary – who each have a different body type, ethnicity, nationality, and facial features. This project is a tribute to the cartoons I grew up watching that tended to only have one female character in the cast, who was almost always skinny and white.
I am passionate about using my work to push for more diversity, as shown through the reoccurring themes of feminism and LGBTQ+ representation in my work over the last three years. As whilst cartoons and other media have made big steps over the last ten years there is still more to be done, and I want to be a part of that.
