a 1/1 acrylic painting of a generic anime eye on a wooden plate canvas. inside the shadow of the eye can be seen the sad face of an unnamed person hiding within it.

inspired by the documented conditions of animators in the 80s and 90s, most notably those who worked tirelessly on cartoons like Sailor Moon and Spongebob, this piece looks at the nameless, shrouded workers who's lives are upturned by the industry they chose to work in, in contrast with the beautiful, fun and happy media they work so hard on, with all the credit and a majority of the revenue going to the company who hired them.

note that the frame is scuffed from being transported, as is the case with most sketchnate pieces. the history of the piece is as important to the artwork as what it shows us, and so whatever happens to the pieces is part of the piece.
