John Paul Early




I love this style of illustration again it is very quick and simple drawings but so effective. Looking at the colour on some of these pieces has made me think i may scan some of the illustrations into the macs and potentially add colour to add another aspect to the project.

Alyana Cazalet







I came across this illustrators on www.illustrationweb.com. I really love the quick simplicity of these pieces. The use of quick flowing ink lines gives a beautiful  look. I feel this style of illustration would suit itself well to my printed index cards.

Website

I have found this website it is full on illustrators of all genres. Well worth a look!

Post it....



These are a few images of the post it notes i have already collected from a variety of people. They range from silly small wishes to meaningful and the obscure. This is just the very start of my project but i love the information i have already collected.

Peter Davis




Peter Davis works with lists, looking how lists can make a piece of art. I love the use of colours in all of his pieces it looks exciting and interesting.

Jenny Holzer




Jenny Holzer focus's mainly on projections of words and phrases onto interesting and decorative buildings and landscapes. I really like this work it is an almost modern and more simple aspect of graffiti.

Gillian Wearing

The series of photographs called Signs... brought Wearing international recognition when it was first exhibited in 1993. This selection of five images shows the range of responses which Wearing elicited from passers-by, whom she selected at random, and asked to write their thoughts on a piece of paper. Wearing challenges social stereotypes and assumptions, and often works in collaboration with members of the public as a means of 'interrupting the logic of photo-documentary and snapshot photography.' She has said 'A great deal of my work is about questioning handed-down truths.'




I personally love Gillian Wearing's "signs" pieces. They are really interesting pieces that have a lot of depth and meaning behind them, each time you like at each individual image I see something else within the image. These pieces remind me of my idea of involving the community within my work which i am really excited about researching into.
