Once upon a time..

The manifesto for the collaboration.

I found a book on raining frogs, so I bought the book and thought I could illustrate over the text so my drawings are not always on a plain white background.

Adding my illustrations to a ready made background..

I decided to draw on pictures of landscapes I bought from a charity shop. Looking at my own drawings, I realised I tend to sometimes forget about what’s in the background, although I do think about the composition of the image. I think drawing on these bought images works well, and gives depth to my original illustrations. As well as providing settings for my illustrations that I would never have thought to use previously. I like the look of the combination of the line, and painting along with the original, found illustration.

Two people collaborate

Although my collaboration with the entire group has been fairly limited, I did work with one group member much more. I think this is because there was a much more obvious visual connection between our work as well as many more shared interests in similar ideas of narrative and story telling.

As part of our collaborative duos work, we photographed our work together by placing images together to attempt to form a narrative.
