Applied Illustration- Study Task 2

Atelier Bingo

Maxime Prou & Adèle Favreau are two illustrator/ surface pattern & graphic designer from France. They love experiment with screen printing and other graphic techniques to create colorful and abstract works. 

They sell their works in the form of prints mainly, and also have publications and run several exhibitions.

I really like their work because I find their regard for straight line alongside rough torn line and interesting mix of media. I also love their colour choices, I think throughout this project I need to really consider my colour choices throughout.

Louise Lockhart

Louise created her own brand, the Printed Peanut, and began to make and sell her own packaging, activity packs and good, mainly through her online shop, but also through retailers and other fairs etc.

She is one of my favourite illustrators, I love how she uses slight miss-alignment and overlap which ensures that the piece doesn't feel flat, and lifts from the page.

I would love to use either traditional print methods, or manipulate my designs on photoshop to mirror the themes and feel of handmade media.

Ophelia Pang

Ophelia Pang has been creating pictures all her life but never attended any art or design school, she took mechanical engineering at university and developed her artistic career later on. She started working on Ipad, and developed into painting later on.

She sells most of her work through her online shop in the form of prints.

I really love how she uses solely shapes to convey meaning and intent, as well as invoking a very visceral feeling in the audience.

Linda Linko

A Helsinki based visual artist known for her bold visual style. Her work varies from paintings of black and white simplicity to wild and colorful collage art.

In her own words, she likes to explore form with black, and color with odd tones and random textures. She sells her work mainly at exhibitions and has participated in several exhibitions, for example in Helsinki, Stockholm, London, and Los Angeles.

I really like how much blank space she uses in her paintings, as I feel she is not afraid to let her work breathe on the page, and expresses them with a bold commitment to shape and colour.

Hannah Rampley

Graduated from Leeds College of Art Printed Textiles, and is now an artist in residence in Edinburgh. I found her work via her website, through which she sells decorated homeware goods.

I really love her gentle overlap in the prints, and how she allows the lower layers to show through to create a multi layered image which documents the transitional effects of each element.
