I began my artistic career by creating intricate black and white patterns done with ink on paper, which was inspired by my Kandinsky loving aunty. I have since discovered a love for charcoal, graphite and oil paints. Nothing beats smudging and blending

Katerina Zmejkoska

I am an emerging artist/ illustrator/designer based in Melbourne. I am inspired by nature, culture and religion, constructing strong and meaningful pieces of work. Constant flow of organic lines can be seen throughout my work. Very often I use vibrant and contrasting colours or very light washes of colour. My work is usually stylised yet realistic. I often exaggerate parts of what I am drawing.

Fundraiser

 

 

Next week at TAFE we will be going from class to class selling some very beautiful and unique greeting cards to fundraise for Illustre.

 CASSANDRA KING

I am a mixed media artist currently studying Illustration at NMIT.
I have always liked to use a variety of mediums within my work and I find inspiration in trying new and sometimes unconventional mediums
 while still keeping my work in a 2d format. The subject matter of my work is influenced by my surroundings. I am passionate about travelling and
I often find myself in different places. This change of scenery forces me to notice things that may seem part of the everyday to others.
The compositions in my work change between figurative works, landscapes and cityscapes but the works all share an expressive style.
 I like to make work that isn’t too literal so it can still be open to interpretation by the viewer.

DAMIAN MAH

Damian Mah enjoys working with oil & acrylic paint, charcoal, pencil & digital things like Zbrush and Photoshop. He enjoys finding humour in art. He inherited a wealth of comics as a youngster, including many old horror comics such as eerie and creepy. This has, in some respects, informed (or perhaps retarded) his style as there is often dark elements to his work. There is some confusion regarding the spelling of Damian's last name which can be possibly traced back to an admin error during world war 2.
