UAL Camberwell

Three projects from my time in the illustration specialism at UAL Camberwell during my art foundation, 'To Be a Bat?', 'The Iceberg', a brief interlude of some museum & gallery sketches and finally, 'Uninspired Poets'.

To Be a Bat?

'To Be a Bat?' was my final major project while studying foundation illustration at UAL Camberwell. The project is based on the 1974 essay by Thomas Nagel called 'What Is It Like To Be a Bat?'. I was looking for a way to delve into the problem of mind in a really accessible way, which eventually turned into a wonderfully silly illustrated rhyming poem!

Uninspired Poets

Brief: create something for a given demographic (poets) based on a given London location (Chinatown). I made a 20+ page risograph zine called "The uninspired poets guide to Chinatown" a poetry workbook that takes you on a journey through Chinatown. This was the project that truly made me fall in love with riso :)
