I chose to create a memorial to CBGB, which was a music venue and club in the East Village and most notably recognized as the birthplace of American punk music. With this piece I wanted to create a memorial with the ability to bring people back to CBGB, regardless of whether or not they experienced it themselves. The memorial itself is a payphone located where CBGB was, which would play the music that was made popular there. I chose illustration to depict my memorial because I felt as though it allowed me to create a world within each drawing, as well as add character that I felt a physical model could not achieve. The drawings are all done digitally on Photoshop and show the location of the memorial, what the memorial would look like, and how people would interact with it.
