Hello sorry this might be really late but I did post this some time ago and it hasn't saved onto my blog for some reason.
Every couple of months for our on going research and to keep connected with the artist world around us, we started to do monthly disuses about subjects that might link with our knew briefs for something that we might all be interested in developing our knowledge of. I was in a group with Tash and Burt. Our discussion was a book called The Untamed Tigers: The Illustrator & The Self- initiated Projects 20 10
The summary of the writing is about weather illustrates should have constant visual stimulation, should they produce their own work on top of work they get commissioned... why do they do this? and can you tell who's work it is? Is it completely different. Can illustrators have their own projects?
What do you think is meant by the term ' Autherstrator'? An autherstrator is illustrator who has work commissioned but also creates their own work, creating knew projects, looking for knew competitions that challenge your own personal style of working, something that is different from their commissioned style of working.
Are you an Illustrator or a Autherstrator? In my studies as an Undergraduate student I am learning all kinds of ways of learning and it is important to constantly have a Visual Language and communicate my styles with knew inventive ideas, even when those ideas are your own. So I would like to be a Autherstrator, to constantly challenge myself and my imagination, and maybe people will like my own personal work because of my knew ever in riching style of personal representation.
I constantly have a sketchbook full of materials and ideas that I work on though out my projects because they are rich in knowledge and it allows me to look back at different techniques I have learnt though out my studies and us them again in knew and inventing ways.
