- Would you love to work with this client?
Yes, I would love to work with Chris Ridell, he is a renowned illustrator who's worked on a wide variety of books, and has won numerous awards for his work, to work with him would give me experience and great knowledge in the illustration world.
- Are you inspired by the ideas and concepts in the work?
Inspired mainly by the use of how black and white images can work so much better then using colour, also the expressions that these characters display in the illustrations are brilliant as they look very life like and you don't have to read the page to understand what the character is trying to say and express.
- Have you got a special interest in this genre?
Yes, its an are where I work heavily in and where a lot of my drawings come into life, and its the way I create a lot of characters is very heavily influenced by black ink pen sketches.
- Do you want your work to be received by a similar audience?
Yes, the children - Young adult section is an area that I am aiming to get into when I get into the publishing world.
- Are you seduced by the style/aesthetics of the work?
The style of the drawings are certainly eye catching and do the characters some justice.
- Is the work well and truly within or outside your comfort zone?
Chris Ridell's style and work is well within my comfort zone, especially the characters and pen usage in these drawings
- Is the work surprising or unusual in any way?
The work in this story is very unusual and weird, especially the variety of creatures that are used and portrayed in this story.
