Birgitte Lund

Birgitte Lund graduated from her masters in 2002 illustrated children’s book on Danish furniture designer Hans Wegner. Birgitte has also been lecturing at Solent Southampton University, the department of illustration BA Hon and have produced illustrations for London Fashion week 2008 and 2009. Being from Denmark Birgitte’s work is inspired by Danish folklore and fairytales. This inspiration brings to her work a set of aesthetics and an atmosphere that at the same time can be viewed as cute and uncanny.


This year includes a collaboration with a ceramicist around the making of a series of interior based objects as well as me setting up the production of my own design products, this to include more graphic novels, children’s books, beautiful boxes of greeting cards and wallpaper. It is still in the process, so much more to come on this later this year....

Self‐employment was seen as a serious ambition, with 65 per cent of
graduates expecting to be working freelance or running their own business.

Hosting my website.

UK2NET

This hosting site was recommended by my self-employed artist friend Samual Durkin. I have looked at others...although it is more useful to know a friends experience. Rather then going for an unknown one. 

Website ideas....

http://www.kevhopgood.demon.co.uk/index.html

Came across this site by Kev Hopgood, his website is pretty clear and straight forward. Presented in a traditional portfolio style. Unlike Shan Tan whos website that is a little more intricate. 

I do not have a website yet. I am kind of late with making one. Though I plan to put together one next week.

Shaun Tan  was born in 1974 and grew up in the Northern suburbs of perth, western australia. Shaun began painting and drawing images for science fiction and horror stories in small-press magazines as a teenager and has become best know for illustrated books that deal with social. political and historical subjects through surreal, dream like imagery.. 

The first page of his website had his name overlaying a scanned in background and around ink drawings these have speech-bubbles that link you to different areas of his site. What I like about this is it has an authentic style that appeals to me.
