5th March 4-5pm Adam Dant - Illustrator: Talk Notes

He creates a routine in the studio space. This is what I thrive on, when I have a fixed routine, even if I've made the routine myself. It is also something I think is important for me in this project. Dant creates characters through drawing which appear in the Sunday papers and other commisioned work. There is work done completely in the studio, and others which are on the street.
There is the idea in Dant's work each time of a concept before beginning. It's a fixed starting point before beginig any of his work. This is something really important for us to do in the group because it will allow us to have a starting point we can all work on but maybe from different perspectives depending on our textile specialism.
This artist is focused on depicting things literally, which in some cases adds humour because it could be taken to literally.
 The people who live on the plank, Adam Dant
Here he created a miniture world in each cirlce, linking them altogether. This piece is massive and you'd have to get pretty close up to see all the detail.
