This was another short brief, we had just over an hour to come up with a small ad for a brochure to promote a photography auction which the Newcastle college students were holding, they were each going to auction off a piece of their work to fund their final show. We were given a selection of images to choose from, I picked this one as I really liked the colours and the composition. I cropped into the image to focus more on the characters and created a final piece which I felt is quite simple and plays on the innocent style of the photograph.
I love love love illustration! This work is that of Julie Verhoeven, I love her unfinished style, her use of mixed media and the fairytale look that it has, consequently, the charcters she draws always look like they have a story to tell. Her work always looks so effortless and although often a bit cheeky I still find it captivating and beautiful. 
This is the work of David Foldvari, I love the simplicity of his drawings mixed with the message he is putting across, some of it very political with other stuff being a lot more light hearted and amusing. I find his work incredibly inspiring, he predominantly draws in black and white with odd splashes of colour for emphasis with the end result being really bold and full of character.
