Luke in the Sky is inspired by the story of Luke Howard, the Godfather of Clouds - but with a local spin to it. In this version of the story, we follow Luke who starts out as a shepard's son that loves cloudgazing whilst hearding his sheep. As he discovers his talent for drawing the skies accurately, he travels to the big city to realise his dreams of becoming a painter; here he learns more about the majestic Dutch skyscape & becomes an artist of the people in 17th century The Netherlands.
This project was developed during my Master in Visual Development at IDEA Academy.
