Non-digital collages – The CreativeMindClass Blog

"I reside and worker at Bristol UK and studied Illustration at Brighton UK. I've been an artist and illustrator since 2013. My work slowly changing over time between bright and vibrant characters to more abstracted and process heavy work. My usual style of art is a drawing, collage and or a combination of both, sometimes 3D. I also make and self-publish numerous zines, as well as sometimes comics."

What are your thoughts on the layout of your collage?

"Primarily non-digital" (though this is a personal preference that both conventional and digital methods of work are equally appropriate for each) which includes a range of paper textures. It was my habit to make work with lots of bright colours but I've tried to become more contemplative and calm when it comes to my colours in recent times. I have a lot of attention on the arrangement of patterns and shapes also. The majority of my artwork is very playful as I consider the drawing and collages that I design as an act of play, or an act that is fun."

What's the secret to creating your collages?

"It's hard to identify the one key that has shaped my method of creating illustrations, as well as other forms of art. An element of enjoyment or enjoyment is essential to the way I make work, so I try every day to find ways to bring that joy into whatever I'm making. When I create artwork, I say to me: "If I'm not having fun making the work, then it shouldn't be making it and I'll need to find an alternative approach'. More often than not with illustration projects, I've discovered that the most effective results come from is to simplify all of the details. It's common for me to become absorbed in details or specific thoughts or concepts. Then I have to take a look back to reduce the entire thing to its core. It is often the case that this applies in the same way to content, as it could in terms of shape."

"I have created an artwork in support of a very worthy project, which just started here in the UK known as Communitea. 55 artists , including me were asked to create an artwork that reflected our relationship to Chinese culture. The artwork is available in the form of prints on Roomfifty and all proceeds are used to keep from closing the London Chinese Community center from closing and also in fighting the rising tide of hate against Asians."
