2. Watts Rebellion Illustration (9.2022) Initial thumbnail sketch by Kim Martinez "I wanted to get you these ideas for the Watts section of course I have not put a lot of energy into a complete drawing but these will give you an idea of what I am thinking. #1 Historically is not accurate but I liked the visual of the cops surrounding them as they are being pulled out kind of hard to see but the figures on the left in the car is the woman trying to hold back the man as the cop pulls. #2 After they have all been pulled the two kneeling on the ground is painful and humiliating, but also has a praying feel to it. #3 The figure on the ground is the female, not sure if I like that, but could easily be changed to a male and she could be pulled out instead of the male, finally the last male is already out being carried away. I think they all have a temporal feel to them."
