First post- Why Illustration Journal?

My illustration journey started around 2010 when I came across illustrations of one of my favourite artist Pascal Campion. Ever since I have constantly pursued the topic of illustration. While I was working at my full time job as Graphic Designer, illustration is something I always loved and created. From around mid of 2018 is the time, I started to pursue illustration as a full time engagement, rather than a hobby.

Over all these years I have came across various artists, information materials, blogs, interviews which have helped me broaden and strengthen my view about the field of illustration. However, due to lack of proper record keeping, I tend to loose those links many times. Also there are times, I just forget about any valuable piece of information, that I have come across.

In this blog I will keep together all these sources. I will also journal my takeaways from these sources to help me remind and rewind in future.

Illustrator- Matt Johnson

Today while going through Pinterest feed I came across Matt Johnson's work. I loved the way he uses texture in his works. He uses of limited palette while creating beautiful scenes.

Artist Found- Debasmita Dasgupta

For past few months I was coming across beautiful cover design of the book 'The Teenage Diary of Nur Jahan' publisher by Speaking Tiger books, in various social media sites. I wanted to know who is the illustrator, but could not find much information. I even went on to ask Speaking Tiger books, via Instagram, but didn't get any answer. But today I got to know the name of the illustrator, because someone kindly tagged her name in comments over Instagram. She is Debasmita Dasgupta. On a side note I will like to mention, it makes me feel real bad when I find, there is no mention of illustrator when book promotions are done in various media. This is a big issue and there are artists outside India, who are voicing their views on this over twitter. That would be a whole another blog post  for some other day. So back to my artist find-Debasmita Dasgupta Debasmita Dasgupta is from West Bengal which is my home state too. She currently lives in Singapore, as evident from her Ins...
