JOY IN THE JOURNEY

My first ever animation project, illustrated on Procreate and animated on Procreate Dreams. Created with the aim to encapsulate my personal narrative of emotional recovery achieved through various road trips that took place throughout the different seasons of the year, focusing on my love for travelling, and hinting at the slow and cyclical nature of healing. Created whilst at Scunthorpe Studio School (2026).

The first animation represents winter, rain falls over the scene as a plum coloured Ford Fiesta (Suzie, my first car) drives slowly searching for a parking space on my old road in Bristol, Bedminster. The second animation shows a silver Izuzu truck blissfully coasting along the open road with a vibrant spring time backdrop of Northern Norway. The third animation features a robust RV bounding through the Californian desert. And the final shows a bright orange Volkswagon Transporter making its way through an autumnal woodland in the UK.

As well as 4 looping animations, one design was printed huge onto self-adhesive vinyl, facilitating my largest piece of work to date, a 23 x 8 foot mural! To get an insight to the install process, click here!
