Reconstruction

It's the fifteenth, which means it's time for another issue of The Hypocrite Reader. This month's theme is "Reconstruction."

I had a thumbnail of this idea on paper about five minutes into concepting, but set it aside for some stupid reason, only to return to it when the more complex idea fell apart. I'm pleased with the way this one turned out in the end. The original article was about a letter addressed to one's future amnesiac self.

The same can't be said for this one, which corresponds to an article that discussed Perestroika's superficiality. I had the idea worked out fromt the get-go, but botched the execution, partly for want of time. In hindsight, I should probably have drawn this in Illustrator instead.
