After talking with Annette today via Zoom, she recommended the following:
- That I share more of the development of ideas and refine them.
- That I revise my illustrations for the texts I’ve written.
- That I think of the communication of the illustrations with a more critical eye, that I imagine being like an art director.
- That I try stenciling to explore other uses of negative and positive space.
- That I record my embroidery sessions with Antonia González Alarcón.
- That I focus the basis of my dissertation more on my practice and contextualize my work with other writer/illustrators’.
- That I show on what basis I’ve made a decision along the process of creating collages.
- That in this documenting I include: the materials, continuity and experimentation.
- That I don’t over-edit the blog.
- That I test the narrative of the illustrations/texts to have more control of what the viewer is reading.
- That I digitize other drawings or sketches I’ve made, even if they’re bad.
- That I experiment with aerial and other perspectives in my illustrations.
- That I look for agents and publishers in the UK and The Netherlands andfind them by researchign other illustrator/writers. (Tate Publishing, Walker Books and Hobart Press).
- That I repeat multiple times the last collage I made.
