Guru Feedback

Here is the feedback I got from my guru on my portfolio:

Hi Vicky,
Terribly sorry for the late reply, hope you’re enjoying for the last few weeks of uni!
Anyway, onto the important stuff: I love your portfolio! You seem to have mastered the lino cut medium and developed a strong sense of style to go with it.  I really admire this, when I was at uni I was also a big fan of printmaking, but I never got close to the high standard that you’ve achieved here!
My favourite pieces are from the ‘Endangered Animals’ project. I think that these pieces best show your skills at printmaking, with your strong sense of colour and good composition (I like the gorilla print in particular, he’s awesome!).
To have such a professional and unique portfolio at this stage is a real achievement, so well done! The best advice I can offer is: to keep up the good work. Your illustrations are of a high standard already and if you keep on producing work regularly and continue to develop your craft, you’ll only go from strength to strength.
There are couple of Stockport graduates whose work I would recommend checking out. The first is Ben Jones, who like you is a master of printmaking. The other is Alan Dalby, whose illustrations of wild animals, I think you’d really like.
Hope all this helps, best of luck for the future.
Cheers,

Matt
