These images represent the characters that we experience on the bus, the drivers, passengers and my own experience of coming into contact with these people.
I have envisaged the bus driver as a sort of zombie-like character as a visual analogy of the monotomy of the job, I based this image on a sketch of a bus driver that looked extremely miserable, tired and over-worked, there are some subtle references to the job also in the colour pallette that I have used and symbolism through re-appropriation of logo's and text associated with public transport, such as the text on a bus ticket.
Sometimes bus drivers can be rude and almost undeserving of ones respect and so an image that i have conjured up to represent that is a roughly drawn stereotype that I hold in my mind, of a bus driver rudely asking for a bus pass. The stereotype that I hold of a bus driver is an over weight, aloof spectacled man, moulded that way due to the monotomy of his job.
one of the images that i created whilst cotemplating my own experience of catching the bus, was an image of 2 characters laughing very loudly behind a character that looks irritated. the irritated character represents my own experience as I find it very annoying when there are people behind me laughing louder than what seems acceptable.
The colour that I have used in this image along with the composition is meant to represent the stress building up whilst on that given bus journey.
Another of the images I have produced represents some of the characters that may get on the bus.
The characters I drew were of an old lady and a mysterious detective character wearing a long trench coat - used to represent some of the eccentric people that sometimes catch the bus.
