i have 2 of her art books which show her process really well, she uses the lasso tool via digital programs to create shapes, and then renders and blends to make these really dynamic images with a painterly style

she also makes use of natural forms and a mix of bold and diffused lighting which makes her characters and landscapes seem to glow and i would love to replicate this

i like how many of her illustrations revolve around a theme but always contain a person, i would like to include this composition in my work as i am most interested in drawing people

i love the almost iterative use of the artist’s character - hirono - as a way of expressing a different emotion with each illustration

he also makes these into series of art figures which i have collected a few of :) and i really like this crossover into 3D which i might replicate in my own work

Art by Julian Miholics

# data[].attributes.body
Not only do I find his illustrations iconic, but they have also influenced me in my own work and illustrations in the resent years of working more fluidly and quickly with my drawings. I find that working like this enhances the personality of the drawing, something very reminiscent in Blakes work.

# data[].attributes.body
I saw this artist many years ago by accident in an exhibition in London. His work caught my eye through a window and I even managed to talk to him. Tom Lewis uses both illustration and 3D models of his designs from wood to create a real and immersive effect of his world. This is something that I love to do myself, relating both 2D and 3D work together.

# data[].attributes.body
Another artist that uses both ceramics and illustration. I find that Moores drawings are definitely more interesting due to the link with his 3D designs.

# data[].attributes.body
i found this artist via instagram as i saw that he had worked on vis dev for two of my favourite pieces of animated media (spider man into the spider verse, blue eye samurai)

his work is very atmospheric and also very nature inspired which i think links well to the concept of ‘ways of being’.

i love his use of colour which really brings the environments he creates to life, as well as the way he layers geometric shapes on top of each other to depict forms - i think i could use some of these principles within my project to give the same look and feel that his art has.

Illustration and visual development art by Mike McCain. To open skies and far horizons.

During a previous project, I came across Bate’s work in a book and loved his style. I like his hand-lettered typography which I could try include in my own project. His use of bold colours links well to my “ways of being” extract as my initial thoughts were to include vibrant colours.

# data[].attributes.body
i LOVE the colours that she uses, and the simplicity of the character design i feel like i could be inspired by her style, and use this within my project to reach the message is want to share

# data[].attributes.body
I find all her work very interesting but I especially appreciate her children’s book illustrations because I am keen on her use of colour and simplicity in the drawings. After photocopying some children’s book illustrations on Wednesday, I could use these and Kalman as inspiration for my project as I want my piece to be easily interpreted.

# data[].attributes.body
I am really drawn to his method of surrealism and unique, distinctive style, his whimsical and cartoon like figures are presented in distorted ways- going against logic. This emphasises how playful his work is.

I want to apply his exaggerated characters with playful proportions and vibrant colours to my own work as-well. I really enjoy the sense of movement and chaos in his work as well, even though it is still, you can immediately interpret the motions implied making his work alive.

# data[].attributes.body
I became aware of his work through a copy of The Hobbit I found in a charity shop. His gorgeous watercolours create environments for your heart and mind and eyes to get lost in. This is an element I would like to transfer to the busy festival atmosphere from the Interlude of Lemons, not just making a picture to look at but a place the viewer can enter.

# data[].attributes.body
i find his use of storytelling the most interesting - his concepts especially for the New Yorker covers highlight human life and unusual yet somewhat realistic scenes in city life.

i think his use of contrast and differing subjects (often contrasting each other, eg: romantic scenes vs litter - so interesting!) is something that can relate to some of the contrasting themes on the text - something that I want to apply to my work and also his use of flat image.

I find his work psychedelic and very pop-arty, kind of like comic work as well. I am really drawn to his use of patterns and even though some of his compositions are very chaotic with heavily saturated colours, they are still arranged precisely and very thought through.

I found her sense of moving image really intriguing and her almost abstract impressions of subjects, this could easily be applied to the sense of intelligence and the ideas we were talking about of something being an action. I really want to take and explore the sense of colour and movement throughout the pieces, especially to transform something into a perhaps more abstract concept.

Lucy Hardcastle | Digital 3D Director and Immersive Storyteller | Jelly UK

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
An interdisciplinary designer and digital artist, Lucy’s moving image work focuses on tactility, visual illusions and sensual aesthetics through digital rendered pieces. Grounded in hand-made craft, including textiles and glass blowing, her works highlight tensions between physical and virtual worlds and experiences. Through immersive, sensory experiences, Lucy aims to reconnect the audience with the material world through symbolism and metaphor. While seemingly fluid and abstract, Lucy’s work is intentional and controlled. Imbuing brand story in subtle yet foundational ways, her moving images tell complex and emotionally resonant stories, most recently for brands including the V&A and Chanel.

# data[].attributes.body
Her style is quite diverse and varying but I was really drawn to this more “sketchbook” drawing style of the different layers interacting and overlapping with each other to create this really energetic and chaotic resemblance.

I think her sense of memory and the concepts behind this specific work (these are from her looking back on shopping trips with her father) could be applied to the more thoughtful subjects in some of the ways of being text, especially that relating to the “entanglement”.

# data[].attributes.body
Giger is a fascinating artist that blends organic and mechanical forms, creating a striking and unique visual style called biomechanical. I find it interesting how he interwhines 2 completely different aesthetics into one nightmarish form. His work relates to my own as I also am looking to mutate something organic into an aesthetic that evokes a dream like quality along with a haunting theme. one aspect i could try to interwhine within my own work would be the way he seamlessly morphs something into the other which emits an unsettling aesthetic.

# data[].attributes.body
Ed Gorey's art has a timeless quality to it, i find it interesting how he blends macabre themes with a playful sense of humour, the juxtaposition makes his artwork eerie yet entertaining. His distinctive pen and ink style creates a captive visual for his audience that i'd also like to include within my work. He's very delicate and intricate with his linework-i think this technique coud be effective within my own project.

Co-Creator of the hugely influential Sandman comics and breaker of fantastic new ground in the realm of Horror Sci-Fi. His work is irreverent and mystical, with a large spectrum of emotion present, with a generally dark colour palette. I like how Dringenberg adds metaphorical dimensions to every shadow of every character in the stories.

Looking at Dringenberg's art feels like looking into a dream, places of consciousness we don't understand. This relates to the themes of intelligence in Ways of Being and how things become vague and difficult the more you attempt to define intelligence and the mind. In my own work, I think I could take inspiration from his effective use of colours to create a strong sense of environment that reaches into the soul of the observer.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
From The Sandman Companion:According to Gaiman, the initial visual design of Death was based on a friend of Dringenberg’s named Cinnamon. Gaiman: “Death is the only major character whose visuals didn’t spring from me; that credit goes to Mike Dringenberg. In my original Sandman outline, I suggested Death look like rock star Nico in 1968, with the perfect cheekbones and perfect face she has on the cover of her Chelsea Girl album.“But Mike Dringenberg had his own ideas, so he sent me a drawing based on a woman he knew named Cinnamon — the drawing that was later printed in Sandman 11 — and I looked at it and had the immediate reaction of, “Wow. That’s really cool.” Latter that day, Dave McKean and I went to dinner in Chelsea at the My Old Dutch Pancake House and the waitress who served us was a kind of vision. She was American, had long black hair, was dressed entirely in black — black jeans, T-shirt, etc. — and wore a big silver ankh on a silver necklace. And she looked exactly like Mike Dringenberg’s drawing of Death.“McKean also used a series of professional English models for representations of Death on covers of Sandman. [2][3]Despite some rumors, Death is not based on Gaiman’s friend Tori Amos. Rather, Delirium is.

Dave Mckeane-well known for his illustrations in the book Coraline, is a great artist that has an amazing ability to convey deep narratives through his visual art. his illustrations consist of surreal imagery-which frequently feature surreal and dreamlike elements, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. this evokes a sense of unease or intrigue within his audience, i think his work is so distinctive in style and has so much depth. this can be comprehended just by the mix of medias he chooses to use and the unique layering that is created from that. an aspect of his work id like to include within mine would be his imaginative and dreamlike essence-the fantasy. he does this by distorting his figures and incorportating surreal and fantastical elements pushing away from standard and ordinary perceptions of the subject.

# data[].attributes.body
Emek creates these cool music and movie poster illustrations which I really like as there’s elements of fantasy involved. I am drawn to his unique style of work and feel this can be incorporated into my project through playful imagery. His work relates to my project because I’m visualising it to be a bit more surreal.

# data[].attributes.body
I like the illustrator's use of unexpected, surrealist compositions in her work and how they contrast with everyday objects. I found it interesting that she uses coloured pencil for her drawings because of the texture it creates. It gives a sense of authenticity and a child-like quality which is very unique. I like her use of bold colours and intricate details.

# data[].attributes.body
I love her use of flora and how textured she makes her work, the high contrast in colour makes it very eye catching and atmospheric.

Her work relates to my project as I want a very bold and layered result.

Her aspect of authenticity through representing her country and culture is very inspiring and makes me want to learn more about myself and where I come from.

Raxenne Maniquiz is a graphic designer and illustrator from the Philippines. Her work depicts images of flora and fauna—mostly the kind endemic to her country—drawn with deep, painterly strokes and brilliant contrasts. These finely textured illustrations appear in brand campaigns, product packaging, apparel design, stationery, and published materials.

i find the sketchy-ness of his work the most interesting, i love the black and white i feel like i could add some of this to my own character, because i want the octopus to be dehumanised

Character design with bold and bright colours, I’m really interested in digital art and the limitless ways of creating images/landscapes/logos through softwares.

I like the ways angles and depth are used to show how close or further away something is.

she is a tattoo artist as well as an illustrator but i love how delicate her work is, and her subversion of natural forms into more spindly and twining shapes

i think this is something i could bring into this project, especially the use of thin lines a blue ink
