5 practitioners that demonstrate my interest in illustration
- Jessica Hogarth- an LCA graduate working in Whitby, a lot of her work is based around the theme of seaside towns and buildings, which I really admire
- Owen Davey- ever since bigheads he has inspired me. The tone of voice of his work is very colourful and playful, as well as being adaptable to working with children's books to editorial pieces
- Gemma Correll- Generic, yes but I am interested in the transition of how simple ideas and humour can take the market by storm, and sell to huge companies like UO, ohh deer etc
- Michael Driver- I love Driver's illustrative relationship with people;his tone of voice is extremely playful and he captures character, action and purpose extremely well.
- Hattie Stewart- I admire her guts and courage. She is very bold and headstrong and this comes across in her weird and wonderful work
