Artist Research

For this graphics project, I wanted to use an artist that does textile illustrations. I found one that I like straight away.

These pictures were all found here.







Beautiful Pictures of Books

I've been looking for some nice book photographs to put on my moodboard and found a couple of really good ones so I just wanted to share these:

I also found this textile illustration that I'm not including in my sketchbook so I wanted to post in on here:

Illustrations

I've been searching for some book illustrations and found this really cute one by Stephanie Fizer! I found it on her blog.


This illustration also shows the feeling people might get from books.

Books Books Books!

I had a little talk with my Graphics teacher and she thought my first idea was a lot more original so I decided to go for the books!

I've been in town today. My teacher has told me about this little bookshop with old books! I went there and the lady was really nice and let me take some photos! It was fascinating seeing all those old books in such small place!

Passions & Obsessions

I've been thinking about my theme for a couple of days now. At first I wanted to do my own passion and thought about themes like books and collecting certain objects but it hasn't inspired me at all. I've decided I'm going to do a common obsession. Either obsession with a certain person (love), stalking or dugs and alcohol. I'm still not a 100% sure about my theme but it's going to be a common obsession.
