This task was to identify 30 conteporary atists that we particularly liked or felt related to our own work. (The list is in the order in which I found or thought of them.)
1. Wayne White
A Fine artist, he uses many mediums but I looked at his oil paintings. It was the humour and visual challenge of his work that really appealled to me. Elephant Journal. Spring 2012 pg 15.http://waynewhiteart.com/
2. Olivier Kugler
An Illustrator, I like how in his pen drawings how certain parts of the image aren't filled in with colour so your attention is focused on those that are filled in, while still keeping the detail of the other objects. I also really enjoy all the writing. I like the way it looks in the composition and I find it interesting to know more about the the people and things in the image. http://www.olivierkugler.com/ (accessed 28/9/2012)
3. Brian Cronin
An Illustrator, I love his use of colour and simple shapes. American Illustrator 29, 2010, pgs 62-69 http://www.briancronin.com/
4. Jeffery Decoster
Another Illustrator, I like the mixture of styles and materials in his work. For me it creates a sort of manic energy. American Illustration 29, 2010, pgs 76-78.

5. Gemma Anderson
An Illustrator using pen, pencil and etching. I love the fine detail that subtly blends the surreal into the real. Drawing Projects, 2011, pgs 120-127 http://www.gemma-anderson.co.uk/
6. Martin Wilner
Using pen, I love the composition of his images especially how he uses text within them. Drawing Projects 2011 pgs 100-105 http://martinwilner.com/
7. Andrew Joyce
An Illustrator, I love how they are very detailed yet simple at the same time.

8. Kate Sutton

I love her use of colour and the loose marks made using watercolour and ink.

10. Jess Wilson
Jess's work is very varied however its her use of colour and text that make so much of her work so interesting. Amelia's anthology of Illustration, 2009
11. Lizzy Stewart
Her delicate use of colour and mark making is just beautiful. She has a lot of work on sale at The Here Gallery its definitely worth seeing in person as well as online. I love her work, it's just bloody great. http://www.abouttoday.co.uk/ http://lizzystewartdiary.tumblr.com/ -Solo her sketched diary is hilarious and absolutely worth just a liitle peak.
12. Dave Bain
Again another artist that uses many mediums and all of them appealling so it's hard to define exactly what I like, but in general I love the colour and line work. http://www.davebain.com/
13. Emma Dibben
Her vibrant illustrations of different vegtables are quite familiar as her work has been used by waitrose for practically all of their packaging. http://www.jamaicastreetartists.co.uk/emma.html
13 is my lucky number so I'll leave it there and post the other 17 when I can.
