In the bustling city streets, anything is possible… Getting Out follows the story of what it would be like to be given an opportunity to live in a metropolitan area. Each painting is drawn in a cartoonish style while depicting a slice-of-life comic and exploring the people, locations, freedom, and emotions that might form when being in a city.
