Summative Position Statement

As an illustrator right now I am someone who enjoys to tell a story, to use narrative and humour to get a point across whether that be in an editorial image or a full comic. I like doing work based entirely on a joke and i like indulging in a complex issue that needs research to understand. I use a combination of image and poetry to convey an idea or an opinion.

I am a creative who is heavily committed to heavy line and texture work, i like making bold, striking images that are tangible and full of detail. The juxtaposition between my graphic style and my light-hearted humour creates a gritty view of every day life. I think in sequential and this aspect of my work method lends itself tidily to the world of animation and cartoons as well as illustration. I do work in editorial and make representative images from single words. I think my editorial still represents the narrative side of my practice as it still explores illustrating a story.


Now as i enter the illustration world I want to create more comics and sell myself as an author-illustrator. I also want to get into the world of cartoons and animation, my practice could be a valuable addition to a story boarding or background team for a cartoon. I also will use my own animation non- commercially, purely for enjoyment and advertisement of my practice. I think my work is unique, interesting and never stops evolving and that is what will set me apart form the sea of illustrators.
