5) I have always been relatively aware of illustration in our everyday lives, but I didn't think about just how far the specialisms could go... For example, cookery illustrations and greetings cards. I have been inspired by the work of Luke Pearson as you can see on my previous post. I simply love most of his work, especially the work for the 'Hilda' comics. On NoBrow they have now brought out plastic toy Hildas which is a sign of great success.
I find the specialism of children's books and story boarding characters for animations to be the most interesting because I love how films and picture books can stay with you for a lifetime, even if you forget what the book is about or what the words say, you remember how they were illustrated. That is what I love so much... I want to be the person who helps you remember a story for your whole life, the person who helps you visualise before you really know what the words mean that your folks are reading to you. That's what they were to me and that's what I want to give to someone else.
