Andrew Mockett and Nobrow books

Well the Cheltenham Illustration Awards was a fab day- my illustration looked really pixelated so I was very disappointed- a lesson learned about saving images in photoshop and thinking they look fine and then seeing them blown up and actually looking crap.
The talks we had were great- Sam from Nobrow chatted about his inspirations and the smell of paper...





Then Andrew Mockett gave us a lovely Roger Moore-esq talk about his beautiful work and really inspired me- I went and bought my first wood cut tools today- really excited about that- just need to get some wood.
He made me feel ok about working in my crappy job and keeping on making my work in the way I want to. An interesting, funny and intelligent man is that Mockett.
