E-scooters

Cities continue to see a rampant increase in scooters as a mode of transportation, but they are struggling to adapt for the new challenges and traffic concerns they present. Deseret Magazine approached me to illustrate a hero image that would depict the disruption they are causing across the country. On sidewalks they are “missiles on wheels” that pose a threat to pedestrians and on roadways they are slow with speeds topping at 20–30 mph. My goal for this image was to illustrate this dichotomy.
