His illustrations tend to mix the mundane everyday with the strange.
Even though digital processes have been used, the character of the pencil lines still come through
• Illustration is the best of both worlds, merging art and design
• I couldn't see myself not pursuing a creative degree
• I like how illustration can be as communicative as you want it to be, covering so many topics (music, film, news, history..)
• On my foundation course, I specialised in graphics and almost always approached briefs in an illustrative/image-based way
• The dream of having a job/career that is in line with my interests (not dragging your heels to work every day..)

Expressive, a knack for picking colours, somehow the shapes/figures are naive and sophisticated at the same time.
His pieces with a greater deal of mark making are more emotive and energetic

WHY LCA?
• Good location with a decent amount of arty things and places
• Relatively small classes (enough space, resources, and time for feedback)
• It's a specialist place that only caters to creatives
• Nice facilities
• Good reputation without being intimidating (very important to me)

Unusual compositions. The combination of concentrated patterns, line drawings, and block colours
creates something visually interesting. A cool illustration lady with amazing printing skills

STRENGTHS
• It's important to me that when I have a task, I do it well
• I enjoy the analytical/contextual side of things (or maybe I just have a collection of useless knowledge..)
• In terms of drawing, I think one of my strengths is my use of line. I try to think of different ways of making it
• Whether it's finding out a new piece of information, or picking up a new method or technique I enjoy learning things
• Although sometimes I doubt my ability, I acknowledge that I've grown and wish to continue doing so!
I can be really selective about them even though they are for fun/personal use.
I like making mock-ups out of bits of paper or materials that I've hoarded
IMPROVEMENTS
• TECHNICAL SKILL! I want to evolve my skills and produce a greater body of work
• I want to get better at not throwing out work I deem as "bad"
• I want to become further immersed in design, art, and illustration (see, hear, visit, pick up more art/design things)
• This year especially, I want to try more experimental approaches to work
• To improve my group speaking, be more willing to put out ideas in front of a large group
Work has a dream-like quality and a sense of atmosphere. Really great at utilising colour for impact or to create a mood.
Demonstrates the best of both traditional and digital methods
