Wowowow! Very glad to have been shown this illustrator during this morning's presentation. Such a varied and experimental approach to her work - doing mono, screenprints, engravings, and collaging parts of her prints together, or assembling them digitally.
She also shows the many possibilities of print, and how it doesn't just have to be purely shape-based. For someone who likes drawing and lines this is important.
I also like the gloomy, old-fashioned imagery that runs through her work. Anatomical diagrams, diagrams of natural forms, and drawings that look like they belong in old books. Lovely stuff.

Berlin-based collaborative print team. I've followed these two for a little while now, and they are just total print wizards!! They just take the medium of print to its farthest level by seeing what can be printed, how overlays and arrangements and colours and stock effect the finished outcome.
Some really lovely experimental stuff. They also have books too, which I may end up looking at if I go ahead and choose to create a publication. Their stuff is a mash up of textures, cut-outs, drawings (mono?), and what looks like screenprinted photographs at times. Very inventive.
I just love the well-designed craziness that they create.

Although this person isn't exclusively a print-based illustrator, I suppose I could look at their work and how they assemble analogue textures through digital methods. There is also evidence of overlays of colour, and has made me think about this for when I create prints, also stock colour against ink.
I really love the poster on the left. It's just so bold and lumpy and weird! Nice one.
