“I’m a big collector and have always been intrigued by objects, especially how much you can tell about someone by their belongings...”

Using objects or motives in their work to create narrative and story

Gannon, R. & Fauchon, M. (2021), ‘Authorship’ in Illustration Research Methods, London: Bloomsbury. p. 26

Her work is inspired by medieval art, and has been influenced by the decoration in her family home and her father who studied ancient art

She mainly work analogue and digital

I like the use of 3D processes and how she has incorporated traditional work aswell

Her characters are also quite surreal and silly which I like

"...Aesthetically and visually appealing to convince the public (to enter a circus)."

Using different colours and shadows on the letters to "Create depth or create interests..."

Stencil illustrations, designs, and cyanotype prints using natural pigments. She works with "...magazine page collages, oil pastel, found objects, thrown-out plastic bags"

Work influenced by traditional Japanese stencil textiles and the Mingei Japanese folk art movement.

Believes in the concept of "mushin" 無心 - working selflessly without any agendas

I like how she uses natural paints, which really compliments the themes of birds and nature. Also the simple, yet elaborate ornamental shapes

I like the use of 3D work as well as the fun textures. The colour palettes are also interesting. Also the use of the airbushed look for black colours and shadows

Wants to create "...an enchanting world worth living in."

I like the hand quality that her work has, and the feeling that her work is free of restrictions - feels very playful

"...Investigating post-colonial, feminist perspectives in design in order to highlight the connections between “our visual culture, systemic power and sustainable futures”..."

I like the use of watercolours and fun bright colours as well as the patterns, such as for packaging, fruit patterns or soap box illustrations

"Narrative is the most powerful tool an artist can use to get their audience personally invested in a work. When youre held in suspense and curious to see where a story is going, you become totally open and let that story into your mind completely. it feels like magic.2

"...To me narrative is a promise and fulfilment of that promise, Every narrative piece starts with a 'promise'...the best ending is one that subverts the expectations you set up....but for the story to feel satisfying, the end has to be connected to the beginning in a meaningful way."

"...But whenever you make something with a start and end, narrative gets loaded into it. There's nothing you can do to stop it...."

Molly Mendoza p.93-103

Graphic novel about getting lost and trying to find the way back to their home

"To me, it's a story about finding ways to love and to forgive yourself."

"...Gullbrants has been seeking warmth, drawing out the emotionality of complex stories and encouraging us to connect."

Their work narrates and evokes feelings of intimacy and softness.

"Light and shadow is interesting. On one hand, its a technical thing, they help to control colour and focus what you're looking at. On the other - thinking more conceptually - darkness, or shadow, symbolises the unknown, and for me the uncertainty throughout the pandemic. Light is what we're always reaching towards."

Specifically the Caledonian highlands, so I will be researching about maybe plants from the this forest or anyother things that are special to it

"95% of our oceans remain undiscovered, are we killing what weve yet to discover"

between transparency and integrity, centres around question of if its even possible to observe the justice system without changing the course of justice

courtroom artists were originally used as they do not distract the people testifying as photographers cameras in the 30s were loud and distracting and many believed that the courtroom was made a mockery of through newsreels, photographers and journalists.

For many years there has been a question of wether they should be allowed, as cameras and technology has become a lot more discrete, however live viewings and televised showings are still not really accepted by judges. This is due to a few different trials where it went smoothly with journalists and some where it was disruptive.

Embraces Nature, and quest is to get to know a place , wants to communicate the feeling of being in the place, and not just describing her feeling and experience of being there

wanting to integrate past and presence and materials together to create the feeling of being.

Fun bold and squigelie lines, feels flowy and playful

Also like the text that is included in the work

Otherworldly and cute characters

Creates Narrative through characters, gifs as well as books such as the "Jumble wood"

Narrates short snippets of everyday life that pass us by but we usually don't pay much attention to

Jordan uses short poetic words and sentences within their comics to show stories. Even though these narratives and messages are quite short, they are very impactful and make the reader feel certain emotions.

squishy and fun characters

3D processes

"...A painting like this is... a literary work, its feelings suggested by allusions in the accompanying poetry."

Fun animations, with interesting concepts, spacing and timing and switches

Silly characters

Music Video - Siamés "MR FEAR"

Nice use of panels within the animation to convey the narrative

Usted Señalemelo - Horizonte

Photocopy effect, and nostalgic look and feel

• artist who do moving images, roto scoping imagery

• Could try making one detailed frame, and leaving the rest simple, just to show style and save time

• More work like the eye gif, zooming into eye, is interesting, do more weird transitions!

• Current poem - dream like, make it not make sense, e.g cut pigeon in and then straight back to dreaming,

• animation memes on youtube - Wonderland ll meme e.g.

• Could try using shadows as a transition. Or scenes of still images, simple movement.

• Try and Limit how much stuff moves, but see if can still represent the story.

Her work is very humorous

"..Many of my strips are close to animations."

When the sequenced images are shown one after the other, it shows a sort of short moving images

Her work has movement and flow and she manages to bring the images and characters to life through sequence

The way the characters and events are represented in interesting ways, outfits are "stuck in the 1950s"

"especially fascinated with the way that they depict a plane crash, like its this alternate version of events, ...no blood.... nobody's distressed..."

The history of the cards - safety cards can save lifes, and help with our understanding of how we can survive a crash

In the beginning there were no regulations, and it was marketing this idea that travel was safe and luxurious, and the cards back in the 30s/40s werent very clear

After realising that the evacuation is so important for survival, they started to increase the safety on board

They then removed the text and just left images, for universal understanding

This shows us that clear narration is so important for understanding, especially in cases where it could be life saving.

"...epurposing of the everyday, but one that, again, is primarily about creating an emotional connection with the viewer rather than just conveying pure facts."

"...a lot of the weight of the storytelling also relies on his color choices."

Discusses social inequalities and sexism towards women, and how womens bodies are stigmatised

Mentions the vagina monologues, and her film that she made about female sexuality and liberation and made the film in protest of these issues and the patriarchy

The dryer's whirr, its invitation to play,
As the sock goblin claims his prize, day by day.
An enigma of cleanliness, a whimsical sprite,
The sock goblin dances, its delight taking flight.

It dicusses the use of 3d space within animation and how, in some animations, we can only see the dance movements go from side to side, whilst in other animations, such as Betty Boop (1932) episode, we can see the Samba movements, are more 3 dimensional and use the space, and not just the sides to show the dancing.

This also discusses the use of Rotoscoping and how it has been used to create more realistic, 3D looking sequences.

• Idea with different colours and lighting

• One with materials

• One with reflection

• One with goblin and socks flying

• Try different textures

Made up of 100 different images of aubergines and put together to create a cohesive animation of an aubergine turning around

Also uses different colours as you move on to the next page each time

Tells a story, and with the mouse you can view the images from slightly different angle

beautiful 3D artwork :0

Fun and silly

You can drag on the whole page and the page extends which I would like to try on my website

Fun fortunes and fun colour and text

Imagery is also playful

Fun interactive portfolio page

Fun inspiration from nature that is visible in her type

I would Like to make some simple letters to add to my quotes.

• The Video campaign should convey the ideas of "Instinctively mouth boggling and joyfully confusing to the mouth" through fun, gloopy and squigy characters and type

• Using Virtual Reality, they created the virtual play doh characters, which is supposed to represent a similar look or texture to the mochi balls.

• I really love the fun and colourful characters which bring a feeling of silliness and playfullness to the campaigns and adverts and immediatley draw you in

• The colours are also fun and analogous which I think I would like to try out

• The typography fits well to the adverts as it feels similar, texture-wise, to the mochi.
