We all envisioned our dream jobs when we were little. Some of us wanted to be astronauts while others wanted to be zoologists. I walked around Philadelphia, taking portraits of people, and asked them “When you were younger, what did you want to be growing up?” Many replied happily and eager to answer. After picking from over 100 photos taken, 8 photos were chosen to be illustrated, showcasing each person’s dream job as a child.

Each photo was edited using photoshop onto Lustre Paper and then illustrated using acrylic paint markers. After illustrations, they were scanned into the computer for digital versions.
