Coursework Kid is an illustration that introduced the first character to the Coursework brand. He is a caricature of myself and an adaptation of the comic book character Tintin created by Hergé. I was drawn to this character because of some coincidental parallels we share. Tintin can actually be a Filipino nickname for Justin. He has a little white dog named Snowy and I had a little white dog named Snowball when growing up.
The illustration remixes an iconic Tintin visual by placing him on a skateboard with a cup of coffee. This represents my need to keep pushing and creating as well as my love for skating and addiction to coffee.
