Inspirasie en Lauren Fowler

In die afgelope maand besoek ons 'The Fringe' in Kloofstraat in Kaapstad en leer ken ek die werk van Lauren Fowler.  Hier is 'n gedeelte van 'n inskrywing op haar blog wat my grootliks inspireer:

"I was born, 1985, cape town city bowl.

I drew 8 legged butterflies.

I went to school and hated my drawings and had holes in my knitting.

I went to high school and doodled cartoons of me and my friend kim.

I went to college and learned about scamping and drew motorbikes.

Then, one evening, my brother mentioned how he loved that my characters had such a range of emotions with such few lines.

Then. I saw it too.

Then other people saw it.

My confidence grew as I drew and eventually, very quietly, I tried calling myself an illustrator. 

It felt nice. I did it more often. I told everyone, I told the magazines, I told the agencies.

Now it’s on my business card."
