The assignment was to come up with artwork for a postcard about Missouri, based on what Missouri said to us. I immediately thought about the major landmarks, such as the Miss. River, the farm landscapes, and then the Metropolitan cities, Kansas City and St. Louis. Thinking of St. Louis I thought about how it was the Gateway city, and tried to convey the idea of a melding of cultures, a more urban figure with a natural and more rural landscape; hence the cowboy and the building, as well as the sketch of the Metro in St. Louis. Essentially, neither of those ideas were working. I finally ended with a sketch of an abandoned ski lift, which is personal to me because of the memories I share with my friends and the connection to the experiences I have had in Missouri.
