Libary books

From the libary today i have borrowed the following books;

• Hannah Hoch's -Cut with the kitchin Knife - Maud Lavin
• Fashion Illustration Now
• New Fashion Illustration

Hannah Hoch

I located and borrowed this book from the libary after Dereck recommended it to me, This is the type of collage that i will be experiementing with as it includes all the types of resourses (bar line drawings that i will add as extra) like stained paper, secondary images from the likes of magazines and photographs.

Fashion Illustration Now

"Tanabes drawings are often compared to traditional japanese woodcuts. His ink drawings are mechanically transformed so that they sometimes seem to blur or move across the page. he explains; 'my drawings are so flat and simple. That i try to give them a little more movement to put things off-register'."

New Fashion Illustration

Looking through this book, two illustrators in particular caught my eye, these are; Erin Petson and Jen Renninger.

Erin Petson

Erin Petson is said to take photos of her friends in these positions of women in her work, capturing lots of movement, interesting shapes and negative space through the process. I love how she then uses mixed media and collage to create depth.

Jen Renninger



I am mainly interested by the work of Jen Renninger because of her use of texture and pattern. This image to me is a great example of this. And i hope to gather patterns from the likes of wallpaper samples to my own hand made patterns that directly link to my theme of 'Obsessions' and 'Guilty Pleasures'.
