just thought i'd post up my thoughts on a lecture we had last week from Jim Stoten, whose work is above, before i begin a mammoth scanning session. i've definitely found the last two lectures, from Jim and Stuart White a lot more helpful than some of the more commercial illustrators we've had in but i'm not totally sure why. I think maybe i relate to their DIY attitude more or maybe its just because they tend to be having a better time working on their own projects and not compromising their work, etc. i don't know really. maybe i just like the work more. either way, it was a really nice lecture, check out some more of his work at;
