The "All Ugly, All Beautiful" series is something I have been developing off and on for a couple of years now. The idea originated from a game I would play with my kids when they were bored at a restaurant. Someone would start by drawing a random enclosed shape, and the challenge was to use that shape as a border for some sort of character. It is an amazing exercise for creativity, but what I love the most is the way this game correlates to life and our lack of control on how we start. We can be frustrated that the shape doesn't fit what we wanted to draw, or we can look at it from a fresh angle and find a new beauty in what we have been given.
