Up A Tree is a project I’ve wanted to work on for a while now. I wanted to combine everything I loved as a kid about cartoons into one show, where Mae represents the classic cartoon vibe with her anatomy, movements and expressions being far more loose and elastic whereas Chester represents more grounded cartoons where characters move and feel more like real people. I like to play with proportion and anatomy in my work and I strive to make the most out of every aspect of a character. Exaggeration is a big part of what I love about art and I want to use it to make the world not only more fun, but keep it distinctly relatable.
