After looking at my sketchbook and listening to my ambitions for my concertina book, Ben advised me to look at an artist who uses the same interesting compositional elements that can be seen in mine. The idea of making a narrative through still images was something that I was exploring anyway, yet he was able to give me a few references, including Adrezj Khiroski and Jon Mcnaught. Each artist uses compositional elements and clear visual language to create their narratives, which appear in sequential comic book style layouts.
Adrezj Khiroski - The Secret
Jon Mcnaught - Nobrow
I particularly admire Jon Mcnaught's work, and the way he uses colour to create atmosphere. Also I love the textures that are created from his method of printing, which is something I'm aiming to include in mine. The idea of creating images in a box is really interesting to me, because although it forces me to consider composition, I think it has a certain aesthetic appeal giving my book and images an effective yet unique look.
Responding to reference
Really enjoying this way of composing images, and think that the framing almost acts as a little window into my image.
