Hooray! Another cover for FFWD Calgary. The idea was doing a play on "Evolution of Man" -- How Pride has developed over the years.
I wanted to have all the figures linked together to show a sense of togetherness and of continuation through the years. Also I tried to make it look like the walking was proceeding in stages like the original Evolution of Man diagram.
According to the article, queer communities in Calgary aren't as centralized as they are in urban centres such as Toronto and Vancouver (much like the rest of Calgary -- sprawl is sprawl!) so it's more difficult to create spaces where folks feel comfortable and accepted. But thanks to determined efforts, Pride Calgary is growing!
Pride Calgary takes place from August 22 to September 1.
Here's the other cover I've done for FFWD.
