Description

Super cheese. In 2016 my day job was driving a tractor at a farm-play park for toddlers. At the end of that last shift I had some poignant feelings that were worth remembering: relief, of course; I’d finally got my foot in the concept art industry, but also a strange sense of pride and belonging. Something about my love of the outdoors, my tendency towards typically masculine things, the dungarees, camaraderie between staff and being The Tractor Driver, was all very satisfying. (the repetitive work and incessant children’s songs from the trailer behind…not so much)

I’m pretty sure I looked this bad ass as I walked away from my station btw. I might have employed a bit of artistic license on the size of the tractor though…(but yes, it did have eyes)

I am a sucker for the Mad Max aesthetic, I admit.

I really love the image hahaha, you make yourself look really awesome and that tractor is amazing, the eyes give it so much life!

Also, great to see you finish a chapter of your life and move onto something new

Haha, thanks! I quite like the whole...dated creepy theme park aesthetic. It's easy for rides to fall into that category when they're trying to appeal to children. So I got a kick out of the park in that sense.

And yes! It's great that things are starting to move on properly :D
