Recently I have been exploring the relationship between fine art and graphic design. Looking at my work, it tends to start with a loose narrative and expand visually. I have a tendency to use motifs and images and proceed to manipulate them in some way. I feel many different medias and forms within art and design influence me.

When looking at the research which was discussed on Monday, i thought the Zine swap website was interesting, as a more internal way of getting your art out there and discovering new stuff.

I also really like projects which have a bit of an edge, a different way of image transfer. I also like this project because of the alternative way of raising awareness.

I am influenced by design studios such as

I also found the art market research interesting
