Audrey Kawasaki

Just thought people would be interested in this artist. I think she has a gorgeous style, combining Art Nouveau and manga. Most of her imagery is produced using oil on wood. :D

Tracy Satchwill year 3 student has an exhibition at Somerset House in January

Here are a couple of images by Tracy Satchwill for an exhibition showing at the East Wing of Somerset House in London.  It starts on the 22nd Jan for 18 months and is called Exhibitionism. Fascinating work that is the result of an illustration practice that involves photography, set design, collage and extensive research into the subject.

Concept Art

and also this from Chris what sounds like a really useful site

'  http://www.conceptart.org/ is a great site for artists that are learning and would be worth everyone checking out regardless of skill level. You can get critique from professional artists some that are incredibly successful in their fields but very helpful to everyone in the community, learn, enter competitions some for prizes others for fun which also generally gets you a lot of critique on your work, read about art etc

You can also do something called starting a sketchbook there, this is where like a normal sketchbook you place lots of your art and then others can see it, usually giving you advice on how to improve (its probably something that every artist should have, you never stop learning after all). Its also a great site for just admiring other peoples art, networking, and generally getting involved in an art community.'

Thanks Chris
