Big Heads : Rob Hodgson


KEY POINTS:

  • His is time split between working for a company called ustudio, producing illustrative products, and then his own freelance work - it is interesting how this has a created a cross-over between these two practices.
  • This is something I would potentially like to do, as I am too interested in the relationship between illustration and product, but would also like to maintain a freelance practice involving more editorial briefs. 
  • I really liked how he spoke about process and media playing a primary role in the developement of his work, and how he likes to play around with non-traditional combinations of media and using materials in new inventive ways e.g. holographic paper. 
  • The key point that really resonated with me is a quote he had taken from the person who created the nintendo characters - which is, if you find it fun/think its fun yourself, then its most likely someone else will too. 
  • Its always comforting to think that you can just produce work that excites you and you will be able to find an audience to fund this creative practice to the point which your simply doing what you love as job - but fundamentally thats why I am here.
