One of the things I love about working with Lilla is that on one hand she is an extremely smart and savvy businesswoman, and on the other hand she is a true believer in the power of spirit, who totally trusts the Universe and her own intuition… and she has taught me that those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Did you know that before we extended our contract to continue producing MATS courses for Lilla, she invited me to go to a tarot reading with her? It was certainly a first from a business partner, but ended up being one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life! We often talk of spiritual things, especially in relation to creativity, and know that many of you are interested too. And even those of you who consider such things to be a bit ‘woo woo’ we want to say

Artists were asked to make a piece of wall art on a wooden slab using their artwork from the mini assignment on vintage plate designs. I was impressed with the huge amount of stylistic variety. It was impossible to choose! I’ve selected these pieces as they beautifully illustrate unique styles. *** Tracy Satchwill First up: We see an arresting and

What the heck are ‘demographics’ and why do they matter to you as an artist? When I was an illustration student, I always wanted to know who the job was for. Was it a cool magazine where I could do my edgiest work, or a more staid one, where I would be myself – always – but rein in the edges? As a working illustrator, I loved knowing who the client was. Was it the New York Times or Vogue? A Japanese travel magazine or an American cosmetics company? It informed my art. You want to understand the type of client you’re making art for. It’s NOT that you alter your very being. Rather, it’s about getting a feel for things. Is it very feminine? Is it for kids? Is it very intellectual? Is it for foodies or techies?
As the 2015 Global Talent Search approaches I want to share some really important insight with you through today’s mini. It’s all about how you compose your artwork.
