Essay Images

I have been researching my topic and finding quotes for my essay hoping to encounter relevant images along the way, but this hasn't been happening. I am making a conscious effort to try and find practitioners and individual pieces of work to reference in my essay. 

LYNNIE ZULU

Bio from lynniezulu.com: Lynnie Z is a professional Illustrator born (1988) and bred in the Scottish Borders, with an artist mother who was born in Tanzania. Lynnie’s work carries an African influence that is revealed in the energetic mark making and by the exotic characters she creates. Her illustrations can be found in fashion print, apparel and accessories, LP artwork, live art and in exhibitions. Clients include, Coca Cola, MAC Cosmetics, Absolut Vodka, Taschen, Nike, Monki, Vitamin Water and Sony.
  • Clear African influences in her work, potentially stemming from her mother's Tanzanian origins. 
  • Can't see her current location of Scotland reflected in her work. 
  • She has clearly made a choice that she connects more with African influences than Scottish ones. 

MONTSE BERNAL

Bio from Central Illustration Agengy: Montse Graduated in Fine Art from Barcelona and specialized in illustration at ENSAD, Paris. She works near the Italian Alps, surrounded by photographs from the turn of 20th century, old books of botany and zoology, paper ephemera, drawings of Ingres and flea market "treasures". She loves the portrait and understands it as a way of rediscovering a person, to go beyond the surface of that which is shown to us at first glance and which can be touched… Clients include The New Yorker, Nike and BMW.


  • Portraiture trying to capture the essence of the person in the image. 
  • She describes a person with their experiences, interests, enjoyments and character. 
  • There is nothing to suggest the heritage, birthplace or current location of these people, does this mean that these are unimportant?
