Flo and Yumi

Flo is the result of the many doodles I have been drawing throughout my secondary school life. I was not the most attentive student, and I would draw cartoons all the time. Somehow after a period of time Flo became the main subject that I would doodle. It represents me. And everyone who knew me knew Flo, even the teachers, because it was all over my textbooks and worksheets.


This was my pastoral care journal. I drew her instead of wrapping up in pretty wrapping papers like everyone else.


She was the voice that laughed back with me during boring history lessons.


It was a file check. I got into a little trouble with my opinions.


My chemistry worksheets showed her expressing my frustration in equations.


My math textbook. Apparently I loved this topic.


Yes, that is the history of a character that has grown with me over the vast years. It is somebody who reflects my thoughts and feelings through the expressions I draw. And that is why I have decided to use her to represent me in this project.
