Today's throwback is from 2004. I think it was my first gig for the magazine Faktum. Actually, I'm doing some new illustrations for them at this very moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Faktum is a magazine working against homelessness, poverty, and exclusion. Working for them means something extra to me. So I'm happy to see that it also has a long history. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #illustration #illustrations #illustrator #throwbackthursday #illustrationartists #creative #illustratorsoninstagram #aquarelle #gouache #ink #editorial #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #swedishillustrator #illustratorcentrum #associationofillustrators #happyandstrong #lyckligochstark (at Reportagebörsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce3q0K3jqE7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#associationofillustrators 

I am really excited to be taking part in the @dirillustration Directory of illustration website with a fresh new portfolio Thank  you to the @theaoi  for organising this collaboration with it's members with this industry resource for showcasing illustration to art directors and commissioners.  Being a member of the AOI has been so important to my business and something I always would recommend to other illustrators to invest in. They have supported me with portfolio reviews, pricing jobs and promoting my illustrations.

Big thanks to The Association of Illustrators Varoom Magazine - the illustration report Varoom Magazine for featuring me and my work in their 36th issue. I’m very honoured and proud to be featured in this management and especially next to the founder of the agency Folio Illustration ; Nick Dawe. I’ve talked the high and low points of my illustration career so far and how I get over these in my own way. . . 很高興也很謝謝英國插畫家協會的Varoom雜誌的訪問和刊登了我的作品，我其實沒有想過會上Varoom雜誌，因為一直以來我都覺得自己作品的風格離英國主流風格和Varoom之前刊登過的插畫家的風格差很多，我從來也不覺得自己是很酷或是很前衛的藝術家，所以收到他們的編輯John O'Reilly (他也是Central Saint Marins的教授，一個媽媽我無法去唸的學校，哈)的時候真的很驚訝。 專訪的內容是有關我插畫家職業生涯中的高潮和低潮和我如何去克服和走過職業生涯中的低潮。 . . #magazine #varoommagazine #AOI #associationofillustrators #editorial #editorialillustration #edinburgh #uk #illo #illustrator #illustration #interview #feature #livwan #Livwanillustration #drawing #career #goals #插畫 #插畫家 #雜誌 #專訪 #台灣 #英國 #視覺設計 #前衛

Pleased to say I’m now a member of @theaoi and here’s a wee welcome pack that arrived the other day. I love the new magazine format for their Varoom publication - very swish! I’ve also set up a folio on their website - more to be added shortly 👍. . #theaoi #illustration #illustrator #art #illustrationartists #varoom #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #illustratorsofinstagram #associationofillustrators — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2hwMfvx

Lecture: The Association of Illustrators

12/12/16

I really appreciated the lecture from the AOI. They made me aware of things that are not so obvious, but are still really important. For example; moral rights, pricing of work, copyright & licensing, professionalism and how to get commissions from different areas of the creative industry.

As a result of this lecture, I am going to gather more visual information from primary sources and my own research, in order to reduce the likelihood of me (unintentionally) copying someone's work. The lecturer from the AOI suggested that we try to avoid being influenced by mainstream, popular culture. We want to maintain an individual identity in our work, that appeals to clients- something different.

The lecturer from AOI also recommended that we tailor our online portfolios to the area of the creative industry that we are interested in working for. For example; I am particularly interested in illustrating for public realm. Therefore, I will consider this when creating work and think about how I could make my work appropriate/relevant to this area.

So, I'm back from my vacation after four weeks of backpacking in Denmark, Germany, France, England, Scotland, and Belgium. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's a vacation image that I made for Kommunalarbetaren before this adventure. The question I was to illustrate was: How much vacation can you get? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #illustration #illustrations #illustrator #draw #vacation #pool #resort #bathing #pooldream #illustrationartists #best_of_illustrations #creative #artistsoninstagram #illustratorsoninstagram #photoshopillustration #digitalillustration #digitalart #photoshop #kylebrushes #truegrittexturesupply #digitaldrawing #editorial #editorialillustration #magazineillustration #swedishillustrator #illustratorcentrum #associationofillustrators #directoryofillustration #happyandstrong #lyckligochstark (at Reportagebörsen) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgwvMqQDOF3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
