INSPIRATION

My inspiration for the characters came about from the stereotypes a lot of people have of 'CHAVS' which are . . . .

• Hoodie
• Cap
• Trainers

Having grown up next to a council estate for the majority of my life i understood why people made these judgements and how they had come about in the first place.

I didnt really have any insipation for the style of the cartoons i have produced even though people would argue that everything is inspired by something, it is a style i like to think i have created myself over many years of drawing cartoons in my spare time and my main focus for most of the drawings would be the face as I would often draw charicatures of class mates and teachers whilst at school (which got me into trouble quite a lot even though i saw it as harmless fun). Mabey i have been inspired by cartoons such as The Simpsons and Dennis the Menace along with other Beano characters as these where cartoons and comics i enjoyed, this would explain the beady eyes and skin tones I have used for the characters.
