Yesterday I went to the Brighton degree show. This illustrator's work really inspired me. She really created an atmosphere through her drawings. The books in particular had a very eerie and intriguing tone. And I liked the way she had 3D objects which worked alongside her pictures, which is something I want to do too. However, it was a bit too gory and grim for me, and on her blog I found a piece which is much more what I want to do- dark subject matter but colourful and exciting aesthetic...
I love the narrative structure and the compositions, and it's just a fantasticly told dark story, like Dahl's. It really reminds me of all the Paula Rego reading I was doing for the last essay- in her 'Girl and Dog' series, a girl grooms and pampers her dog as a ritual for murder.www.kayeblegvad.com
