Thought Bubble

I found out from Matt today that my artwork from level 4 is being used by the LCA Marketing team for the LCA promotional material to help promote the uni and BA Illustration course at the up-coming Thought Bubble event:

I am really excited by this and honestly shocked that my work has been recognised as potential for this promotional material. The poster is to appear in the Thought Bubble info booklet at the event. I hope this helps gain my work as well as the course, some much deserved interest.

Banksy's Dismaland

This summer I was luckily enough to get my hands on some tickets to the much awaited Banksy's Dismaland. Having been a fan of Banksy's work, political satire within creativity, along with many of the creatives involved in this exhibit, I was really excited to see what it is all about.

One of THE MOST inspirational shorts I have ever seen - that has resonated with me on so so many levels:

Thoughts following the visit:
Political satire within art is visual thinking that I have never been able to do personally and i think this is why I am so intrigued by it. Spreading awareness and the truth can often be seen as anarchic - however in this day and age I feel everyone should have a voice and what better way to display and convey the "voice of the people" than through art.

I hope to be able to attempt, develop and in the end hopefully master the ability to shock and employ impact within my work. In my opinion, art/creativity with depth and substance (such as this) can really strengthen an approach and overall body of work and final resolutions. It has meaning and resonates on a deep level with the audience, hopefully educating, enlightening and spreading awareness in such a way that the audience comes away not only finding the  aesthetics of the pieces pleasing/interesting/impactive - but also immersive, engaging, informative and something to talk about, possibly even changing perceptions and being ultimately life changing.
