In the comments, please respond to these questions:

1. What do you find interesting about their work?

2. How does their work relate to your project?

3. What aspect of their work can you try in your own project?

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.

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.

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.

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 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”.

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.

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

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

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

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 feel like I could stretch and squeeze the illustrations

Lots of bold colours

Very amusing to look at

Lots of animals/objects have human-like expressions

A lot of the work is done with lots of hard straight lines

Done kid's comic books and drawing books

Lots of stuff have faced in many of his drawings

Animals have lots of human expressions

Designed stuff for food products

Designed walls in buildings with his illustrations on them

Very silly drawings

Proportions are all out of shape

A few dream-like illustrations

I kinda want to eat a lot of the illustrations that he has made

His drawings are very natural

Lots of details in everyone

Makes me feel like a kid again

Older kids drawings

Depths of colour but kept mostly all-natural

Also does lots of fantasy stuff with dragons and mythical beasts

You can see lots of the emotion in the animals

There is detail in every aspect of his illustrations from the subject to the background
