SB3 Persons of Note | Illustrative Portraiture

Looking at things to get me thinking.




Heather Kai SmithI chose to look at these images because they are a mix of landscapes that involve a character, as well as collections of objects and items. When thinking about researching people, their work, and lives, all of these aspects can be combined to create a rich sense of who they are and what they're about.

I suppose they could act as 'portraits' of people or subjects, without solely depicting a face. They act as collages of moments and interactions.



Joan Casaramona | An illustrator I've followed for a little while now, I just really admire how their work spans across many different formats! Also they share so much of their idea scribblings and process tests. Have a look at Joan's beautiful blog.

The themes in their work and the way they draw seems very unique to me, and I like how it can look very contemporary at times and yet there are historical references.

I chose some of their images based on Picasso's life seeing as he is a person of note.


I think I'm in (art) love...
