I really like this illustrator and randomly came across her work, I am not exactly sure of her last name but she goes by the name of 'inky mole.' I have never come across an illustrator who predominantly works with ink. This really takes me back to my art roots which I love. You get a rally crafted but neat looking piece of work. The line quality is completely different to using a pen. I have recently experimented with this and think its a perfect method for me to use on this brief.
I especially like the idea of using ink, as this brief is written so I experiment more with type, and using ink and nib gives me a completely different quality of work hand crafting type than I would with a pen. The below and above images are so simple, but still really beautiful to look at. I think the type working in line with shape and theme is what makes these illustrations so successful.
The hand driven type fits the theme/stye of the illustrations, although I haven't started experimenting I think this hand written swirly style writing will really suit the type of look I am aiming for with my work.
