Information Filled Under ‘Illustrator Templates’ Category
This was the theme of an illustration conference I attended on Thursday and, to be honest, it took me a while to work out what was meant by it. Perhaps a more straight-forward term might be ‘artistic integrity’, because the conference revolved around the extent to which illustrators, whose work is by definition commissioned and art-directed by a client, can maintain their own ‘voice’ within the work they produce and to what extent we need to sustain private, non-commissioned work, to keep sight of who we are as creatives. There were two illustrators speaking: Simon Spilsbury , whose work you will remember from the recent Cobra ads, and Andrew Foster , who caused some controversy with his commission to paint the windows at Liberty (top image).

I wasn’t sure what to wear for the Hachette party on Wednesday, but in the end I decided to dress up (there are not enough opportunities these days), so I wore my red, spotty, dancing dress (several people said I looked like a ladybird).

Well, it’s been a very busy week for travelling – I clocked up 9 hours in the last 2 days. I took a train down to Reading on Wednesday afternoon, but unfortunately had an awful seat for drawing purposes (very high-backed seats and only back views, mainly of people’s knees!) so I read my Ian Rankin novel instead. I did these sketches on the way home the next evening
