This week we have been charged with choosing our favourite artist ( because thats an easy thing to decide!) and I have a few in mind. Ever since I've been little I have been brought up on monty python and Terry Gilliam's illustrations have always never failed to amuse me. He would be quite easy to research as well due to his notoriety in both the arts and in his acting career.

Another big contender is an illustrator I follow on instagram called Deerjerk aka Bryn Perrott. Her woodcut prints are absolutely beautiful, and are really inspiring me recently in my own work outside of university. It's something I really want to give a go and maybe whilst researching her I can research the technique itself also. I love the versatility in her work, as she can be commissioned to do a beautiful, floral woodcut for a wedding and the next minute she's created a really cool interpretation of Spock.

Another artist That needs a mention is Egon Schiele. I have adored his work for so long, due to his surreal take on portraits whilst still capturing the person so perfectly. His portraits that are mainly simple line drawings are my personal favourite, his line work is so on point that it makes me completely envious that I will probably never have the talent that man had.

And finally, as another contemporary artist, I might choose Zachari Logan. His illustrates are so dream like and detailed. Surrealism is right up my street and his work achieves it in a really awesome way. He's become quite big in the modern day market he wants to dominate and his work actually spans a multitude of different mediums. From beautifully thought out illustrations to sculpture. Obviously I will focus mostly on his illustration and painting as it is his style in this field I find most inspiring.
