WELCOME TO SHOW AND TELL
When I was at university, group feedback sessions felt like a dreaded mandatory task in which most of us would shy away from offering feedback, or from showing up. This was no fault of the course really. As a group of illustrators who had barely worked professionally before, I doubt that any of us felt qualified to judge our peers work. However after leaving university I came to realise how valuable those group/tutor review sessions really were.
Having someone else to look at your work who knows the practice (aka not just your relatives or house mates saying “that's cute”) is an opportunity I miss. I feel that as professional illustrators getting feedback for our work is now more crucial than it ever was during our degree, the work we do know could potentially be our next job or major client. So let's help each other and empower ourselves to create our best work yet!
OUR MISSION
A solution to the post uni illustrator isolation
Its no secret that being an illustrator with can be isolating, working alone and/ or for yourself contributes to this heavily.
​
At university we are surrounded by other and their work. The ideas are allowed to bounce from creative to creative, so is feedback.
​
Feedback is essential, anyone who has spent too many hours staring at sketch wondering "why doesn't it look right" will tell you that sometime a second pair of eyes can solve many problems.
​
Imagine how much insight a whole room of design focused minds could offer!
What?
When?
Where?
Casual meetings to discuss, ideas, work and everything illustration.
Meetings will be monthly, taking place on the first Tuesday of every month.
We are located in Sheffield, but close to the bus and train station.
We welcome all graduate illustrator. Wether you graduated last week or 20 years ago we'd love to see you and your work at our meetings!
