New York, New York

I have just had five fantastic days in Manhattan. My whole experience was overwhelming and I feel that I have so much to blog about. This was my second visit to New York city but still feel as if I haven't seen enough. This visit was a little different as our lecturers had kindly organised some amazing trips and meetings. We had a meet with Andre da loba an illustrator who works in Brooklyn and while there we were also fortunate enough to bump into Oliver Jeffers too, as they just so happen to share studio space. I had the pleasure of being invited into Artist Steven Byrons home to look over his work and question him about his practice and approaches to work and business. He very graciously let us know everything we asked [ separate post] and we also visited the studio of Illustrator Mike Perry in the middle of nowhere. His place was amazing and so inspiring with many ways of working ad producing his designs. The MOMA and American Folk museum are amongst the galleries i had the pleasure of viewing- phew! many posts to follow.
