As part of PPP I created an introductory illustration. It says Hello and I wanted to use this throughout my collateral to introduce myself to potential studios and clients. I screen printed it so I could send it off as an example of my work and take it as a gift in interviews.
I decided then to submit one of my screen prints for the Ferens Art Gallery Hull, Open Exhibition 2017. I was successful in getting into the exhibition which was brilliant.
It was a really great opportunity and the lady who purchased my print later contacted me after finding my website online and bought two more to hang in a row. It gave me real confidence in my work and made me see that selling prints in the future could be a great opportunity for extra income.
The third was for Jessy Lanza at Leeds Print Festival - exhibited at Leeds college of music. I made a four color screen print specifically for the event. It was brilliant because I know loads of designers and people interested in the industry and print will of seen my work. I was also told that the artist Jessy really liked my print.
The fourth thing ive featured in is a zine called Gurrl Furr; the launch night is at Islington Mill in Salford and work will be exhibited as part of this. Its a brilliant way to network within the Manchester area where I plan to move in the future for work.
