Tyson Hill Desk Scene

Inspiration

I got the idea for this scene while visiting my brother in San Francisco.  Like him I hope to live there once I finish school.  So I envisioned my dream room and desk.  My small desk I have now also inspired me because I have so much stuff on it I wish it was bigger.  I have to draw on my bed all the time and it drives me crazy.  I’m hoping the story my scene tells is of some young successful person sitting in their huge house looking out at the world thinking about what’s next.
