Raphael Garnier
Garnier's work chooses to focus entirely on mark-making and patterns in his work, and how that affects and varies the tonal values. All lines are thin and solid. The charm and personality is found in the mark making. It is really interesting to see in practice how a solid fill contrasts against an object filled with lines - and how the closeness of those lines gives the indication of light and shadows bounding off the object. Different textures are successfully executes; the bark of a tree through organic and free-flowing lines, a stony solid texture by multiple facets, a soft spongy object with dots. The visual spectrum of marks and arrangement of objects really makes Garnier's work visually interesting.
Adam Higton
Higton focuses on stylised, naive and evocative character design implementing differentiating frequencies of lines to evoke a sense of tone, gradient and variation. His quirky characters, made up of simple shapes and forms, evoke feeling of 70's retro funk nostalgia for books such as the Mr. Men, shows such as Parsley the Lion, and groovy flower power thanks to the playful proportions and 'style'.
