My name is Francis Troy, I am an illustrator, animator, and actor. I make digital illustrations, paintings, and typically (digital) Animations. Artwork that influences my practice is the art and stylistic choices from works and artists such as author Hiromu Arakawa- Full Metal Alchemist, Artwork from online artist Arin Hanson- Egoraptor- and Ross O'Donovan, Rubber Ross, and last but not least Sonic Adventure artist- Yuji Uekawa. These artists have inspired me stylistically in how they convey their art, storytelling, and sense of balance in humor and tackling more difficult themes. The things that motivate my creative process is thoughts and scenarios that can be used to represent and to evoke themes of human struggle, comradery, hardship, and personal growth. My artwork tends to be surreal, and representative, and working to evoke a sense of ephemeral atmosphere.
“Photographs really are experience captured, and the camera is the ideal arm of consciousness in its acquisitive mood.” -Susan Sontag
I have chosen the first quote from Susan Sontag due to how the excerpt describes the transitory nature of experiences, and how photographs and artistic imagery, in general, can capture the mood and feelings of a certain time and place.
“To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed. It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the world that feels like knowledge -- and, therefore, like power”-Susan Sontag
I chose the second quote from Susan Sontag due to Sontag discussing how when you capture an image, it necessitates putting yourself in relation to the image and therefore the world. Which can be a powerful thing to do for one's self.
