New artists/designers that interested me during the designer speed dating workshop.
Kate Bingaman-Burt was introduced to me during the speed dating session and her work really caught my eye. I was shown a lot of lovely intricate illustrations, which really interested me and cause me to delve further into her work. On her website, I found that although illustration is her main focus, she also experiments with photograph, installation, pattern and textiles.
After doing a bit of searching, I found a project that Kate Bingaman-Burt had undertaken, titled Obsessive Consumption: What did you buy today? Which really appealed to me as I am quite the compulsive buyer, and it's always leaves you a bit shocked to find out where you're money is going. Every day, she has documented what she has bought, which certainly takes time and dedication. The humorous side to the project really drew me in.
'Our daily lives are filled with consumption...parking tickets, coffee, packs of gum, shoes, electricity bills and burritos...everything we buy has its own story to tell. Obsessive Consumption: What Did You Buy Today? represents a selection of three years of ink drawings of sundry items.'
Jon Boam wasn't someone that was mentioned during my workshop, however, after everything was pinned up on the wall, I was introduced to this illustrator. Straight away, my attention was brought to his work. Lately, I have become really fascinated by drawing and illustration, and have found myself working a lot harder on my own skills.
Boam's use of colour and humour particularly stand out in his character design.
