first feelings + what I already have 

conflicted - reflection

then Steph tutorial- reflect

(why game industry you ask...especially tabletop? Games are an excellent medium to engage the audience, and applying for concept art/visual developmental jobs are good way of entering into the industry 

ALL THESE OPPORTUNITIES ARE BASED ON CREATIVE PROBLEM SOLVING TO HELP A COMMUNITY

BUT WHAT IS MY DRIVE/STORY?

I've been devastated to see how far the modern west has fallen morally and intellectually and about the needless conflict and destruction. These things are also only addressed/discussed or dealt with using more conflict! I want the 'small' people to be angry in a creative way 

I want people to have the freedom to think and question (they do but they don't notice), start acting, do something, connect, problem solve, NO MATTER HOW FOSSILISED THEY MIGHT BE IN CONSUMER CAPITALISM WHERE MONEY IS THE MOST DANGEROUS DRUG! For that, my work needs to critically comment on issues and reframe problems to force people to observe something from a different 'perspective't (something that people struggle with, proven by corrupt systems where the public can't see the issue)

And so far, the best approach to working on this has always been to create work that engages the audience, (and its a plus if it gets them researching down rabbit holes) These opportunities listed above so far have been going towards this aim

External Application Email Structure

I am an illustration student in my third year at Bower Ashton, UWE (University of the West of England), and I am writing to ask if there is the possibility of your cafe/shop/site accepting the on- site hosting of a highly engaging fundraising stall. Here, me and 3-4 students artists from our class would raise funds for our end of year degree show, drawing/sketching/painting anything that passing-by customers ask for (that is nothing offensive or 18+, as our terms mention in the attached risk assessment form request for art that may be offensive, may portray violence or contain explicit 18+ content will be immediately rejected, and the artist can choose to refuse any further requests from the customer). This can be fan art of analogue and digital media, their own original characters, portraits and much more (creatures/scenes/character etc). As one of the students, I am writing to you because we believe that you and your company would be perfectly aligned with our class’s values of the importance of community  and with effective promotion, we might potentially be able to increase your site’s footfall. 

I have attached an accepted risk assessment form, a concept sketch of the stall for better visualisation, and some example work that me and the students on this fundraiser can make. 

We perfectly understand if there is a fee 

Thank you very much for reading, I appreciate your time, and let me know what you think of this idea. I hope to hear from you soon. 

Kind regards,

The Original Jigsaw Co Internship

A London based, remote internship opportunity at a sibling-led company that designs and produces jigsaws. I felt like exploring a newer path going towards tabletop games/games in general would be a great way to break into the industry. 

Despite getting through to the 2nd round in the application process (completing a mini brief of drawing Leonardo Dicaprio on a penny farthing), my application was rejected, but I have been informed that my information has been filed if they would need to reach out to any artists in the future. I also have a hunch this was becuse the company was prioritising 2nd year students due to an internship scheme that is tailored to them. (I also applied last year as a 2nd year student through the scheme and got accepted).

Website Building

After multiple discussions and feedback from tutors and guest lecturers, I was advised to build two websites at the same time, or to 'split my creative identity in two' to then see which side takes off most (simply because I enjoy working in both fields mentioned below and I think both have equal potential to challenge contemporary issues and themes.

Self Promotion

Apart from the fundrasing events we have been doing with the ndrawing booth,  I have already started running my own tables at external events/fundraisers (before this module). And out of desperation and lack of time, I was pushed to quickly develop these cards from scratch (hand written, 

These business cards are clever and their structures would support my multiple focuses on one piece, but I think that would be weak if if I'd be promoting myself to one spicific audience (e.g. it would be pointless to adventise my dark fanatsy concept work to a children's publisher). This would also be less for forgiving when it comes to printing and folding many in batches.  

So, I believe a more unique and cheaper approach would be to print the text onto some typical business card-sized paper,  and then free-hand draw an appropriate sketch on the other side, almost like visually signing it with a little original piece (which is what makes it special for the client). The sketches could vary, but the paper being the same colour would clarify that these business cards originate from the same person. The simple buisness card size and shape could also allow for better storage and damage to it would be less likely.
