| This
illustration was done for an article in the Oregon Daily Emerald
about the overcrowded conditions of higher education classes,
the rising cost of higher education and how corporations are
using college and universities as training grounds for future
employees. When thinking of overcrowded conditions I couldn’t
help but think of sardines in a can. Going further with this
theme I saw the students as sardines crammed into crowded sardine
cans, which come out of the can in debt with tremendous school
loans who are enticed to take the seemingly tasty but come to
find out low grade bait of corporations who pull them out of
college and to the surface of the working world. This piece
won the 2001 SND Award for Best Collegiate Illustration. |
