Artist Statement

The spreads were drawn and colored in Adobe Illustrator, and texture effects were later added in Adobe Photoshop.

Taking inspiration from the style of Akira Toriyama, these redesigns follow the style of DragonBall to revamp the page for Mahatma Gandhi and Henry Bergh in “Little Dreamers.” Gandhi's meditation sitting stance is like that of Piccolo from anime/manga or Garnet from Steven Universe. The Henry Bergh spread includes small references to the Briefs Cat and Turtle Hermits Turtle.
