For the MASi project I am drawing inspiration from the illustrator Roderick Mills. His work involves line drawings in pen and biro, many of which are then layered with other drawings and with block coloured stencil drawings which come together to make varied and interesting pieces.
I have been looking at Roderick Mills' work since the first year of the course and feel that I could draw links between my work and his. I am very much inspired by his work with both images and with text, which he also sometimes adds to his pieces.
I love the way his work seems to all link together so well. Even though his multiple drawings are normal of things which wouldn't first go together, he arranges them into a composition which works. The drawings seem to me to now belong together in some way and nothing is left just floating, as if it doesn't belong. This skill is something which I need to work on as when doing the MASi project I had problems with my line drawings, which seemed to not link together in the way I wanted them to. They seemed to be just placed on the page in no particular way.
Roderick Mills' work influences my work greatly at the moment and looking at his work has helped me a lot, not just in the MASi project but in past project as well.
