Earlier this year I visited the Manchester Print Fair - my very first experience with seeing so many illustrators in one place and so much work displayed outside of a gallery space! I took lots of photos but these were the ones that turned out best. I wanted to blog about this event as I still think about it often and have been been so inspired by all of the different aesthetics and products of illustration!
There were many things that I would like to consider this year:
- Making prints
- Making illustrations that can be applied to other products
- Entering print fairs
- Making my first zine
- Experimenting with different processes such as lino printing, mono printing, risographing
- Consider table set ups and the things I could sell in future
- Business cards
There do seem to be a lot of trends at the moment, such as Americana, scandi-folk, foxes and woodland creatures, and I want to try and avoid these so that my work can be timeless and individual.
