Employee

This print was inspired by the neighborhood around one of my part time jobs, an industrial park. There are no restaurants or retail establishments to draw customers, so everyone there is there to work. The landscape and buildings have be rearranged to suit the composition, and you wouldn't see this many people on the street at once, but otherwise it's based on reality. Though I think of myself as a artist first, the truth is that I will likely have to work one job or another (or a few at a time) to make a living for most of my life. In addition to reflecting the jobs found in that neighborhood, all the jobs shown are variations on things I've done to earn money at some time in my life.
