A few months ago, I got a call from UCLA Magazine to illustrate an article on rising suicide rates among middle-aged Americans. After sketching the first few thumbnails and re-reading the article, I decided to focus on the absence of connection and we went with the man in the park. From there I experimented with the idea of visual isolation by including the passing world in watercolor figures and warmer temperatures.

excelent work!
Owen, this came out so good! I also like the sketch of the people in the water. It is a difficult topic and I think you handled it with a lot of dignity.
I love looking at all your thumbnails. the hand-drawn charcoal people are a really nice touch in the final piece.
much to be learned here as always!! damn good finish bruther owen!!
you are incredible man!
really nice stuff!
I really enjoyed seeing your thumbnails as you grappled with a difficult subject to illustrate. This could easily have turned into a mediocre illustration in less adept hands. The final concept and it's execution are exceptional.
