Interim crit No.2!

I'm still not happy!! Although I do have a real passion for this kind of work I feel like I want to work like this myself rather than just celebrate others! From past experience it's a always a stress and an effort to organize other people when they're helping you and that's not what this project is about. I've recently suddenly felt an irritation and a need to go against graphic design as I think it can be taken too seriously. I do feel sometimes we need to realize there is a lot more important things in life than point size! With this in mind and the need for my work to have benefit I'm yet again changing the direction of this project! I've recently seen and read a lot of things that I can't believe there's not more of a fuss about. This project will hopefully have and achieve the aim of informing and educating about these issues.

Glenray Tutor

An amazing painter that specializes in photorealism. His paintings are just like beautiful photographs and are full of colour and emotion. I really like this work not only for the skill but for the very aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Lizzie Finn

Lizzie Finn has a very individual and unique style which you can see comes from a love of materials. Work is very heartfelt and full of character. You can see there's a love of the handmade in this girls work. It's very hands on and very crafts based.

Hellovon

Hellovon's work admittedly is a mix between hand drawings and digital work but it is a beautiful mix. The precision in his drawing is really amazing and he seems to have a really special touch. I've a real admiration for anyone with the skill of drawing and this guy certainly has that skill.

Francois Berthoud

A fashion illustrator with a really original style and feel to his work. His work is very expressionist and appears very hands on. It's simple and doesn't need anymore than he puts in. It's sophisticated classic and most importantly hand done.

Claire Morgan

A visual and installation artist. Produces stills of taxidermic animals arranged in a beautiful manner. Work is very delicate and precise and you can instantly see the skill. Again the work has that slight odd twist to but still oozes beauty and skill.

Boo Ritson

Boo Ritson paints people, but not on canvas or on board – she literally coats people with paint. Presented as photographs, Ritson’s portraits are a double masquerade: her subjects coated in sticky disguise, and the documentary image a surrogate representation of the tangible painterly, sculptural, and performative qualities of work. By using photography Ritson capitalises on the associations of snapshot memory and filmic narrative, with each of her characters playing out readily recognisable stereotypes.

I love this work, it's so instantly recognizable as hers and is so quirky and individual. There's something slightly odd about her work which I like, that little odd twist always makes work more interesting and appealing to me.
