Last week I went to a talk by Mary and Bryan Talbot about graphic novels - and in particular their new novel Sally Heathcote Suffragette which was written by Mary, page set-up by Bryan and illustrated by Kate Charlesworth. It was interesting to hear how the pages and (mostly black and white)illustrations were set up to convey the different characters, emotions and details.
I am trying to incorporate my drawings of computer technology with text onto a background. I don't want the background to be a flat colour but my screenprints are proving to be difficult because they are often too domineering. I have used water-soluble pastels for backgrounds. I have wanted by designs to be colourful to reflect the energy and vibrancy of fourth wave feminism.
