Jeffrey Brown

I found Jeffrey's blog spot and he has just given his email. This has got to be one of the easiest to find. It's like he does want you to contact him, unlike others i've searched for where it seems they are actively avoiding contact with strangers. Little do they know i am no stranger but their future best friend. Or at least thats my aim. 

I contacted Jeffrey Brown because i really admire his comic book work, especially his biographical comic because the stories he tells strengthens his illustration ten fold. His drawing style is kind of naive and wobbly but this combined with the subjects make it all seem a very personal account. reading his books feels like being in a little club that know about his life. His work is so raw and honest i think that makes his work really work. It has all the lumps and bumps of real life and it is enjoyable and relatable. 

Hi 

I'm a third year illustrator at Leeds College of Art and i was wondering if i could pick your brain for a bit of advice.

I saw your talk at Thought Bubble the year before last and i really enjoyed it,i also queued up to have my copy of every girl is the end of the world signed by you. I probably wasn't very memorable i just kind of stared at you intensely and smiled. It probably came off as mildly creepy. Hopefully if i was to speak to you again I would be much more composed.

I really enjoy your work, especially your biographical work, did you always make comics about your own life? How do you know what's interesting and have you ever had someone angry at your portrayal of them in your work?

Any advice you could part with me would be immensely appreciated 

If you would like to look at some of my work my site is bigweenillustratio.wix.com/bigween

and my Facebook page is Facebook.com/bigween

Thanks in advance for any feedback you could give and hope you are having a wonderful day

i wished him a wonderful day so i look mega friendly (which i am) i also talked about how I've met him before, i did this because then theres a bit of humour in this message rather than just asking for advice. I want my message to be that bit different and then maybe he will enjoy it and reply.
