I'm Hannah, I'm currently a 3rd year university student studying Illustration at Southampton Solent University. I started here in 2009 and am soon to finish in June of this year.
This blog is to go alongside my final major project detailing my journey from conception to final realisation in a 'presentation document'.
I work with a variety of materials; paper cutting, photography, watercolour and drawing. I’ve always preferred traditional media to digital and have used my years at university experimenting with new materials and combining one or more together.
I’m influenced a lot by the theatre, especially set and prop making. I am also heavily influenced by music and lyrics. I love Listener, Florence and The Machine, Lana Del Rey, Fleetwood Mac but I listen to just about anything and everything.
Additionally I am influenced by the work of other artists particularly the artists of the Golden Age of Illustration; Kay Neilsen, Edmund Dulac and Arthur Rackham. I also like Czech art nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha and in more recent times I like James Jean, Elly MacKay, Lizzy Stewart, Elsa Mora and Gregory Euclide. Though I am being introduced to more and more artists almost every day.
This is my studio space. The work on the wall is mostly for this final major project, there are some personal pieces up there too and work from previous projects. Lower down in front of my desk there are reference photos, experiments and sketches to help my finished work; all of which you will see later in the blog.
So that's me, peace out!
