Jessica Illustrator Fecal Face - Ian Francis Interview This England based artist had his first U.S. solo show @BLK/MRKT in 2007 and sold it out. We've been meaning to interview him for awhile. Ian Francis was born in 1979 in Bristol, England, and graduated from the University of the West of England with a degree in Illustration. His work concentrates on the particulars of modern experiences things like television, world events, celebrities, and day-to-day living. Describe your process of creating a new piece. I spend a lot of time watching TV/films, reading books and looking around the internet... How would you describe your style? I normally describe what I do as mixed media painting... the idea is to get different kinds of marks to work off of each other - so sometimes I'll paint/draw fairly accurately, then work quite loosely on a section, then break up elements of print on another section. What brought you to Bristol? I've lived in Bristol all my life... sometimes I'm tempted to move to London or abroad, but I'm happy here for now. Music?

flickrdesign Scriptographer Faith 47 Format Magazine Urban Art Fashion Faith 47 is South African. She illustrates and paints her world; asserting herself through the images and words she creates, and often leaves on walls. Her canvas is diverse, her work finding its place in whatever environment she may find herself, either blending in with the texture of a location or standing out with an unmistakable presence. Faith’s awe with the world and her quest for inspiration from a closeness to the universal humanity makes her work is a process of self realization and dialogue with the people and places. It is powerful in its subtlety and beautifully frank – both gentle and harsh. Her words are poetic images; never without meaning which leaving her audience, to reflect on what they are seeing. “We need to step up and when we have children we need to make sure our boys have an equal view of women” Format: Who is Faith 47, where are you from, how would you describe your practice and what you do. Format: Do you plan a concept based on a location?
