My career started to take off after I got the teaching job and realized my own ability to sculpt - ironically I didn't study sculpting in art college. I was inspired by the 3D caricatures of a British show called Spitting Image, an outrageously funny satire of politicians and Royalty. Three dimensional illustration became popular in the eighties so I took my work around to art directors and managed to get some freelance work.
I was happy to be doing illustration in my own style, and in a medium that I felt comfortable with. Ken loved to take pictures so he became my official photographer.

Welcome to my blog! I want to share what I've been up to lately. The image above, which is the wraparound cover for Scrappy Jack a book I wrote and illustrated. It's a biography of my dad, who had plenty of stories to tell and he lived to be 100 years old. The original version called "So, That's That!"was given to him on his 100th birthday many years ago. That's me and my brother, dad, and two sisters in the junkyard where I grew up. The best playground any kid could ask for!

ReplyDeleteHi Jackem,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment!
Ken took those photos back in the eighties, now a lot of art directors use stock photos these days - the internet has changed everything. You may want to check out art photography at galleries in any major city. There's some amazing work out there if you're interested and who knows, maybe I'll see your work in a gallery some day!!
Good luck.
Cheers - Joan :^)
