Artist Statement

Jacob Caruana is a digital artist, particularly passionate for illustration. He’s interested in fantasy and comic book illustrations, with a focus on character design and worldbuilding. He hopes to further his skills in order to enter the videogame industry.

Jacob’s dissertation “Crafting a Short Story through the Art of Mythmaking'' aims to craft a new myth in the form of a four part illustrated story. This project presents a spin on the Hero’s Journey as it subverts concepts of the ideal hero archetype and explores the universal human experience of death and absurdity.
