Abbey Massey Illustration

Inspiration And My Work
(Photo taken at PICK ME UP 2012 can’t remember who the amazing artist is though) 
I had a progress tutorial yesterday and despite my fears that I am not doing well apparently I am! Really well in fact. However there are some changes I need to make 
Start a personal sketchbook Experiment with colour moreGet back into printmakingSTOP STRESSING 
I also realised I didn’t complete / even make a go at my Easter Goal list ! This is something I need to get on top of ! Hopefully from now on you will see a changed Abbey in terms of work wise ! Regular gallery visits, more work completed, more confidence !
One thing that won’t change though is my LIST MAKING

Also believe everyone should be aware that while taking this photo Greek music is being forced upon my ears… well I think its Greek?!

Looking at illustrators websites and blogs is no longer a motivation barker where I feel like I am never going to be good enough… it has become motivation! I can be where they are in the future I just have to put my mind to it and work hard!

England by Stephen Thomas
‘The drawing features details such as Stephen’s home, the Queen’s residence, and his personal belief that Wales looks like a pig’s head’ -From Here to There
During a lesson I drew a map of UK from memory and labled it… I then came across a version done by a student and it is oddly similar.
On mine I wrote Wales was all green and and that Scotland was always white…
(will be scanning in my version shortly)
