Time for me to have a blog I thought to myself the other week.
Deciding on what it was going to be about was easy, deciding on a title was even easier. Ode to Crayola is not only a fantastic song by lemon demon, but sums up where my drawing started out... I like many other artists, and the general public for that matter, started out drawing and colouring with crayola wax crayons. Getting this blog started, well that's a different thing all together.
i would like to introduce myself, my name is Cherie Bryant though most people know me on the Internet as wildhaggisis. I like myths so the mystical beasty wild haggis seamed like a good name to go by. I am currently working out of a bedroom in Mansfield, England in order to strengthen my illustration portfolio and my art career. Hopefully in the next year I will start going places.
My interest in art started at the age of 11 or 12 and while my work has been displayed in an art gallery in hull at the age of 15 it wasn't until I was 18 that I began to see art as a viable profession to go into. At the time I was studying film and looking at being a production design, though soon realised that it wasn't for me and my drawing talents lied else where. My work is often described as Disney or anime, it has even been described as low brow or pop surrealism. Pop surrealists take influences from popular culture and mix them with fine art theory and technique. This sums up my approach to art very well and I hope to push the boundaries further in the next few years so that I create a style unique and interesting.
This blog aims to keep up to date with my sketches, wips and various conventions and shows that I go to in the future. Hopefully showing insight into the way I work and what its like as a fledgling illustrator trying to break into the industry. I hope this blog is interesting to read and look forward to your comments.
That's all for now. Happy drawing/writing/whatever you guys do ^^
