The last section of the ECA Degree Show that I was really looking forward to seeing was the Illustration. Unfortunately this was the part at which I was most rushed. What I did see in my quick scoot round looked fantastic and I have to say I'm glad I'm not an illustration graduate because the competition in the field is intense. I was also quite glad I hadn't brought along my purse because it would more than likely have been emptied at the Illustration shop.
First of all I was welcomed into the space by the lovely Laura Armstrong. I enjoyed her fun sci-fi work, some of which you can purchase from her Etsy shop.
One of the other displays that caught my eye was Kirsty Baynham I loved her choice of mixed frames and the way they were all fitted together. Oh and the illustrations were pretty lovely too, beautiful colours and use of geometric shapes. She also had a very big box filled with tempting prints.
Matt McCann also had an inventive way of displaying his work. Manipulated and collaged photographs had been screen printed onto glass giving a spooky effect which reflected his theme of invented memory.
I also love seeing illustration work used in jewellery so was very attracted to Claribel McVennon's fox necklaces which mirrored her sweet images.
There were loads of other great illustrations that, in my rush, I didn't get a chance to photograph but you should check out the ECA page which has a list of all the illustrators who were displaying work.
